abstract
One fundamental goal of the newly born gravitational wave astronomy is discovering the origin of the observed binary black hole mergers. Towards this end, identifying features in the growing wealth of data may help in distinguishing different formation pathways. While large uncertainties still affect the binary formation models, spin-mass relations remain characteristic features of specific classes of channels. By focusing on the effective inspiral spin $\chi_\text{eff}$, the best reconstructed spin-related merger parameter, we show that current GWTC-3 data support the hypothesis that a fraction of events may display mass-spin correlations similar to one expected by dynamical formation channels of either astrophysical or primordial nature. We quantify the Bayesian evidence in favour of those models, which are substantially preferred when compared to the Gaussian phenomenological model adopted to describe the distribution of $\chi_\text{eff}$ in the recent LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA population analyses.

Assessing the waveform systematics from parameter estimation to population inference with eccentricity
Eccentric waveform-model differences, small per event, accumulate across the GWTC-4 catalog and alter inferred redshift evolution and effective-spin population distributions.

Nowhere left to hide: revealing realistic gravitational-wave populations in high dimensions and high resolution with PixelPop
Modeling all significant correlations with the nonparametric model PixelPop recovers the true black-hole merger rate in a simulated 400-event gravitational-wave catalog, while simpler models introduce bias.

Inferring the pair-instability mass gap from gravitational wave data
Non-parametric analysis of GWTC-3 finds a transition at roughly 46 solar masses above which the effective spin distribution broadens and becomes consistent with symmetry around zero, consistent with second-generation ...

January Food Benchmark (JFB): A Public Benchmark Dataset and Evaluation Suite for Multimodal Food Analysis
The abstract promises a food-image benchmark and a winning model, but the manuscript pages contain only a different paper on primordial black holes, leaving every benchmark claim unsubstantiated.
