GWTC-4 data reveals three sub-populations of binary black holes with distinct delay-time distributions that depend on mass above 45 solar masses, mass-ratio, and spin, ruling out a single universal merger rate.
The Targeted Detectability Range (TDR) incorporates sky localization, inclination constraints, and mass bounds from external messengers to evaluate gravitational-wave detectability for gamma-ray bursts observed during LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's first three runs.
3D kinetic simulations of pre-merger binary neutron star magnetospheres predict nonthermal gamma-ray signals at ~16 MeV and fast radio burst-like radio transients from reconnecting current sheets.
ZLK oscillations in Sgr A* triples enhance dual-line GW source formation rates by a factor of 5-10.
Closed-form expressions for the worldlines of spinning particles in plane gravitational wave backgrounds are obtained as single integrals over retarded time by exploiting six conserved quantities from translational Killing symmetries.
No definitive lensing is detected in GW231123, though a potential microlensing feature with modulation amplitude up to 0.8 at 95% confidence is noted, limited by large waveform systematics in short signals.
Using simulated binary black hole mergers and neutral hydrogen maps, the radio sirens method constrains H0 to 8% precision with 3000 high-SNR events, offering a 90% improvement over standard dark siren analyses.
Angular auto-correlation of gravitational wave sources decreases with lensing dispersion, and joint cross-correlation with galaxies partially breaks the degeneracy with source bias.
BBH-Genesis applied to GWTC-4 finds strongest support for a two-channel model of binary black hole populations with possible mild evidence for an AGN-related third channel.
Waveform modeling uncertainties can distort features in the binary black hole mass distribution inferred from gravitational-wave data more than statistical uncertainties.
GWAgent agentic workflow produces analytic surrogates for eccentric BBH waveforms with 6.9e-4 median mismatch and 8.4x speedup, outperforming baselines, and infers eccentricity for GW200129.
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.
Simulations show LIGO-A# constrains the peak redshift of binary black hole merger rate (tracing star formation) to ±0.1 in one year, improving to ±0.02 with next-generation detectors.
Simulations show the low-T/|W| instability develops robustly across five nuclear EOS in a rapidly rotating 35 M⊙ progenitor, with dominant GW frequency correlating to PNS compactness and stiffness.
GPU-accelerated gwcosmo enables 1000x faster dark-siren cosmological analyses for large GW catalogs.
MUST is a new 6.5 m telescope designed to deliver simultaneous optical spectra for over 20,000 targets across a 5 deg² field, enabling the largest 3D spectroscopic map of the Universe with redshifts for more than 100 million objects over an 8-year survey.
Methodological choices in dark siren cross-correlations can mitigate biases in H0 inference when selection effects are built into the model and samples of precise events are sufficiently large.
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.
No significant cosmological anisotropy is found in the latest GW O4a and GRBWeb datasets using angular power spectra and two-point correlation functions, consistent with the cosmological principle.
Simulations indicate that an optimized CTAO strategy could detect GeV-TeV emission from about 5% of GW-associated short GRBs, with detectability depending strongly on jet and viewing angles.
Describes the methods for producing the fifth gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-5.0) from O4b data of LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA.
Identifies eight Fermi-GBM sGRBs similar to 170817A via hardness-ratio K-means clustering and estimates ~5 GW+sGRB events by end of O4.
GWTC-5.0 is a data release documenting over 300 gravitational-wave events from compact binary mergers observed through early 2025.
