GW241011 and GW241110: Exploring Binary Formation and Fundamental Physics with Asymmetric, High-Spin Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1783
We report the observation of gravitational waves from two binary black hole coalescences during the fourth observing run of the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA detector network, GW241011 and GW…
Black Hole Spectroscopy and Tests of General Relativity with GW250114
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration
The binary black hole signal GW250114, the loudest gravitational wave detected to date, offers a unique opportunity to test Einstein's general relativity (GR) in the high-velocity,…
New modeling of the stray light noise in the main arms of the Einstein Telescope
M. Andrés-Carcasona, J. Grandes Umbert, D. González-Lociga +3
Stray light represents a significant noise source for gravitational wave detectors, requiring an accurate modeling and mitigation to preserve the experiment's sensitivity. In this…
Performance of an instrumented baffle placed at the entrance of Virgo's end mirror vacuum tower during O5
M. Andrés-Carcasona, M. MartÃnez, Ll. M. Mir +2
In this article, we present results on the simulated performance of an instrumented baffle installed at the entrance of the vacuum towers hosting the end mirrors of Virgo's main Fa…
New approach to search for long transient gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binary systems
M. Andrés-Carcasona, O. J. Piccinni, M. MartÃnez +1
The search for gravitational waves generated by the inspiral phase of binaries of light compact objects holds significant promise in testing the existence of primordial black holes…
