The Cross-Survey Decade: A Call to Action
Gioia Rau, Robert Benjamin, Federica Bianco +24
By 2027, three flagship wide-field surveys will be operating simultaneously from ground and space, observing overlapping sky and representing more than $6 billion in US and Europea…
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…
A Four-dimensional Model-agnostic Probe into the Astrophysical Origins of Binary Black Hole Subpopulations
Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera
The paper presents a data-driven reconstruction of the four-dimensional joint distribution of binary black hole primary masses, mass ratios, effective inspiral spin, and effective…
High-mass binary black hole mergers from detailed binary evolution models
Max M. Briel, Olcay Bıyıklı, Tassos Fragos +10
The paper uses detailed binary evolution simulations to test whether super‑Eddington mass transfer in isolated binaries can produce the observed high‑mass binary black hole mergers…
Characterizing Binary Black Hole Subpopulations in GWTC-4 with Binned Gaussian Processes: On the Origins of the Peak
Omkar Sridhar, Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera
Understanding the astrophysical origins of binary black holes requires accurate and flexible modeling of multi-dimensional population properties. In this \textit{Letter}, using a d…
On the Astrophysical Origin of Binary Black Hole Subpopulations: A Tale of Three Channels?
Anarya Ray, Shirsha Mukherjee, Michael Zevin +1
There is increasing evidence for multiple binary black hole~(BBH) subpopulations in the cumulative gravitational wave catalog by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. The astrophysic…
