abstract

We present the third Open Gravitational-wave Catalog (3-OGC) of compact-binary coalescences, based on the analysis of the public LIGO and Virgo data from 2015 through 2019 (O1, O2, O3a). Our updated catalog includes a population of 57 observations, including four binary black hole mergers that had not previously been reported. This consists of 55 binary black hole mergers and the two binary neutron star mergers GW170817 and GW190425. We find no additional significant binary neutron star or neutron star--black hole merger events. The most confident new detection is the binary black hole merger GW190925\_232845 which was observed by the LIGO Hanford and Virgo observatories with $\mathcal{P}_{\textrm{astro}} > 0.99$; its primary and secondary component masses are $20.2^{+3.9}_{-2.5} M_{\odot}$ and $15.6^{+2.1}_{-2.6} M_{\odot}$, respectively. We estimate the parameters of all binary black hole events using an up-to-date waveform model that includes both sub-dominant harmonics and precession effects. To enable deep follow-up as our understanding of the underlying populations evolves, we make available our comprehensive catalog of events, including the sub-threshold population of candidates, and the posterior samples of our source parameter estimates.

  1. Improving gravitational wave search sensitivity with TIER: Trigger Inference using Extended strain Representation

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A machine learning classifier trained on the extended noise environment around gravitational wave candidates improves search sensitivity for heavy, unequal-mass black hole mergers by up to roughly 20 percent.

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    No confident intermediate mass ratio inspirals are found in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O3 data, yielding 90% upper limits of roughly 30-1000 Gpc^-3 yr^-1 on their local merger rate and showing higher modes boost search volume b...

  3. The Long Road to Alignment: Measuring Black Hole Spin Orientation with Expanding Gravitational-Wave Datasets

    astro-ph.HE 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated gravitational-wave catalogs show spin-tilt peaks at alignment are hard to confirm even with 1500 events, while integrated tilt fractions are robust.

  4. Searching for binary black hole mergers with deep learning in Advanced LIGO's third observing run

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A hybrid matched-filter/deep-learning pipeline recovers 31 known O3 events and reports a new tentative high-mass candidate, with sensitivity comparable to existing searches only for chirp masses above 25 solar masses.

  5. Robustness of Sensitivity Evaluations for Gravitational Wave Detection Algorithms

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    AresGW model 1's injection detection count at a false-alarm rate of 1/month varies with noise dataset by up to 39% coefficient of variation, while sensitive distance varies by only a few percent.

  6. All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An all-sky search of O4a LIGO data finds no new gravitational-wave bursts and improves burst sensitivity and rate limits by factors of 2 to 10 over the previous run.
