New simulations show that cross-correlating gravitational wave background anisotropies with galaxy distributions can enable discovery at angular scales of 4-6 degrees with next-generation observatories.
Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.
GWTC-4 data analysis yields a pair-instability mass gap lower edge at 44.3^{+5.9}_{-3.5} M_⊙, an S-factor of 268^{+195}_{-116} keV b for ^{12}C(α,γ)^{16}O, and two populations supporting both direct formation and hierarchical mergers.
Mass-ratio reversal in isolated binaries offers a viable formation path for GW241011-like events under specific stellar-evolution and interaction conditions.
Stable mass transfer produces two distinct peaks in merging binary black hole primary mass and mass ratio distributions via mass ratio reversal under conservative mass transfer.
No evidence for core-collapse formed low-spin IMBHs in GWTC-4, with 90% upper limit on merger rate of 0.077 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}, low-spin BH mass truncation at 65 solar masses consistent with pair-instability gap lower edge, and high-spin IMBHs from hierarchical mergers.
Non-detection of kilonova from S250206dm excludes AT 2017gfo-like events and disfavors NS-BH mergers with mass ratio Q >= 3.2, reaching GW-comparable precision on the mass gap candidate.
A targeted gravitational-wave search modifies the GstLAL likelihood ratio with a sky localization prior from EM triggers, showing improved detection efficiency in injection studies while controlling false alarms.
K-essence cosmology induces a redshift-dependent effective mass on gravitational waves, causing phase shifts that link scalar field dynamics to GW observables without changing wave speed or luminosity distance.
GPU-accelerated gwcosmo enables 1000x faster dark-siren cosmological analyses for large GW catalogs.
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.
Improved quantitative detection of SASI in supernovae is reported using cWB XP on real LIGO O3/O4 data, with high identification probabilities at 1-10 kpc distances via ROC curves.
Describes the methods for producing the fifth gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-5.0) from O4b data of LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA.
LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA releases calibrated strain time series, noise-subtraction channels, and GWOSC v5.0 analysis products covering April 2024 to January 2025.
