LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Nowhere left to hide: revealing realistic gravitational-wave populations in high dimensions and high resolution with PixelPop
Sofia Alvarez-Lopez, Jack Heinzel, Matthew Mould +1
The paper presents PixelPop, a high‑resolution Bayesian non‑parametric framework that captures multidimensional correlations among masses, spins, and redshifts of binary black hole…
Evidence for additional structure in the effective spin distribution hints at multiple formation pathways in GWTC-5.0
Sofia Alvarez-Lopez, Jack Heinzel, Salvatore Vitale
The distribution of the effective inspiral spin () of the binary black holes detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA can shed light on their formation pathways. We analyze th…
Evidence of the pair instability gap from black hole masses
Hui Tong, Maya Fishbach, Eric Thrane +13
Stellar theory predicts a forbidden range of black-hole masses between -- due to pair-instability supernovae, but evidence for such a gap in the mass distri…
Measurement prospects for the pair-instability mass cutoff with gravitational waves
Matthew Mould, Jack Heinzel, Sofia Alvarez-Lopez +3
Pair-instability supernovae leave behind no compact remnants, resulting in a predicted gap in the distribution of stellar black-hole masses. Gravitational waves from binary black-h…
Studying the gravitational-wave population without looking that FAR out
Noah E. Wolfe, Matthew Mould, Jack Heinzel +1
From catalogs of gravitational-wave transients, the population-level properties of their sources and the formation channels of merging compact binaries can be constrained. However,…
