A subpopulation of low-mass, spinning black holes: signatures of dynamical assembly
Hui Tong, Thomas A. Callister, Maya Fishbach +5
Gravitational-wave observations of massive, rapidly spinning binary black holes mergers provide increasing evidence for the dynamical origin of some mergers. Previous studies have…
GW231123: extreme spins or microglitches?
Anarya Ray, Sharan Banagiri, Eric Thrane +1
The recently reported binary black hole merger, GW231123, has unusual properties that make it hard to explain astrophysically. Parameter estimation studies are consistent with maxi…
Trends in the Population of Binary Black Holes Following the Fourth Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog: a Data-Driven Analysis
Nir Guttman, Ethan Payne, Paul D. Lasky +1
Current population models of binary black hole distributions are difficult to interpret because standard population inferences hinge on modeling choices, which can mask or mimic re…
Do both black holes spin in merging binaries? Evidence from GWTC-4 and astrophysical implications
Christian Adamcewicz, Nir Guttman, Paul D. Lasky +1
Angular momentum transport in high-mass stars is commonly modeled by extrapolating the behavior of better-observed low-mass stars. According to the conventional picture, the cores…
Model-independent dark matter detection with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
Liam Pinchbeck, Csaba Balazs, Eric Thrane
Searches for annihilating dark matter are often designed with a specific dark matter candidate in mind. However, the space of potential dark matter models is vast, which raises the…
A search for extra polarisations using a Gaussian process in Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalogue 3
Shun Yin Cheung, Lachlan Passenger, Paul D. Lasky +1
General relativity predicts that gravitational waves are described by two polarisation states: the plus state and cross state. However, alternate theories of gravity a…
