GWTC-5.0 adds 161 new compact binary coalescence candidates from O4b with p_astro >= 0.5, detailed properties for 104, all binary black holes, for a cumulative total of 390.
A targeted hierarchical search refines GstLAL low-latency gravitational wave candidates to improve sky localization by 16.75% on average using O3 data and has been adopted for O4.
92% of 91 LIGO black hole mergers favor non-zero V_GW, constraining bound remnants to at most 8% and finding no cosmological handedness preference with average near zero.
New GstLAL offline methods reuse online matched-filtering products, merge with a heavy black hole search, revise the likelihood ratio and background estimation, and deliver a 50-100% sensitivity gain for high-mass events on a tested O3 data segment while improving reusability and reducing compute.
No sub-solar mass binary merger candidates found in LIGO data from May 2023 to January 2024, yielding merger rate upper limits of 110-10000 Gpc^{-3}yr^{-1} and constraints on primordial black hole dark matter fractions.
Describes the methods for producing the fifth gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-5.0) from O4b data of LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA.
