Search for Eccentric Black Hole Coalescences during the Third Observing Run of LIGO and Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1772

Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Or…

Search for gravitational-lensing signatures in the full third observing run of the LIGO-Virgo network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1692

Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about funda…
