Ground-based gravitational-wave detectors like Cosmic Explorer can be tuned to improve their sensitivity at high or low frequencies by tuning the response of the signal extraction cavity. Enhanced sensitivity above 2 kHz enables measurements of the post-merger gravitational-wave spectrum from binary neutron star mergers, which depends critically on the unknown equation of state of hot, ultra-dense matter. Improved sensitivity below 500 Hz favors precision tests of extreme gravity with black hole ringdown signals and improves the detection prospects while facilitating an improved measurement of source properties for compact binary inspirals at cosmological distances. At intermediate frequencies, a more sensitive detector can better measure the tidal properties of neutron stars. We present and characterize the performance of tuned Cosmic Explorer configurations that are designed to optimize detections across different astrophysical source populations. These tuning options give Cosmic Explorer the flexibility to target a diverse set of science goals with the same detector infrastructure. We find that a 40 km Cosmic Explorer detector outperforms a 20 km in all key science goals other than access to post-merger physics. This suggests that Cosmic Explorer should include at least one 40 km facility.

Probing Direct Waves in Black Hole Ringdowns
Merger gravitational wave signals contain a 'direct wave' from the plunging companions, screened by the remnant's potential, with frequency near the superradiant value for high-spin remnants and SNR above 10 in GW1509...

Prospects for Neutrino Observation and Mass Measurement from Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Binary neutron star merger neutrinos will require a megaton-scale detector and decades of operation to detect, but a single detected neutrino could set a sub-eV (~0.1 eV) limit on the lightest neutrino mass via gravit...

The fault in our sirens: Hierarchical diagnosis of waveform systematics in Hubble-Lema\^itre constant measurements
A 5% subpopulation of high-mass, spin-precessing black hole binaries, poorly modeled by current waveforms, makes future dark-siren Hubble constant measurements unreliable, and a hierarchical variance diagnostic can de...

Implications for Pulsar Timing Arrays of Sub-solar Black Hole Detections: From LVK to Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer
A Bayesian analysis shows that a future sub-solar PBH detection would make the primordial SIGW interpretation of PTA data favored over the SMBH interpretation, but this preference is driven by the detection prior.

Parameter Estimation Horizon of Core-Collapse Supernovae with a Network of Gravitational-Wave Detectors
A CNN can recover supernova peak frequency out to about 30 kpc and rotation/amplitude out to 200-250 kpc with current networks, extending to roughly 300 kpc and 2-2.5 Mpc with third-generation detectors.

Spin-induced Quadrupole Moment (SIQM) Test for Eccentric Compact Binaries
A Fisher-matrix forecast for Cosmic Explorer finds that orbital eccentricity improves the measurable precision of the spin-induced quadrupole parameter kappa_s from ~18% (circular) to ~8% at e0=0.2 and ~4% at e0=0.4 f...
