Identity Crisis: Untangling Mass-Ordering Artifacts from Compact-Object Pairing in Gravitational-Wave Populations
Soumendra Kishore Roy, Asad Hussain, L. A. C. van Son +3
Mass distributions of binary black hole mergers inferred from gravitational-wave observations offer clues to how binaries form. These distributions conventionally label the heavier…
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…
Regression on Regression: Mapping Data-Driven Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Fits to Progenitor Histories
Emma Blanchet, Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, Maya Fishbach
The binary black hole (BBH) merger rate is governed by the progenitor formation rate and the distribution of delay-times between formation and merger, but these functions remain po…
Forbidden Formation Histories: The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Disfavors Long Delay Times
Aryanna Schiebelbein-Zwack, Maya Fishbach
The redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate can be expressed as the convolution of the progenitor formation rate with the distribution of time delays between…
Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Supernova Remnants in the first part of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Fourth Observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1764
We present results from directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from a sample of 15 nearby supernova remnants, likely hosting young neutron star candidates, using data…
Implications of low neutron star merger rates for gamma-ray bursts, r-process production and Galactic double neutron stars
Maya Fishbach, Alexander P. Ji, Wen-fai Fong +4
The first multimessenger discovery of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, GW170817, proved that such mergers can source short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) and produce r-process element…
