Directional Search for Persistent Gravitational Waves: Results from the First Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1765

The angular distribution of gravitational-wave power from persistent sources may exhibit anisotropies arising from the large-scale structure of the Universe. This motivates directi…

Directed searches for gravitational waves from ultralight vector boson clouds around merger remnant and galactic black holes during the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1769

We present the first directed searches for long-transient and continuous gravitational waves from ultralight vector boson clouds around known black holes (BHs). We use LIGO data fr…

GWTC-4.0: An Introduction to Version 4.0 of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1808

The Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC) is a collection of short-duration (transient) gravitational wave signals identified by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration in gravita…

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…

Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with a hidden Markov model in O3 LIGO data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1669

Results are presented for a semi-coherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to allow for spin…
