A Search for Low-mass Neutron Stars in the Third Observing Run of Advanced LIGO and Virgo
The Astrophysical JournalMost observed neutron stars have masses around 1.4 M _⊙ , consistent with current formation mechanisms. To date, no subsolar-mass neutron star has been observed.

Gravitational-wave Dark Siren Cosmology Systematics from Galaxy Weighting
The Astrophysical JournalThe detection of GW170817 and the measurement of its redshift from the associated electromagnetic counterpart provided the first gravitational-wave (GW) determination of the Hubble constant ( H _0 ), demonstrating the potential power of standard siren ...

Probing the Peak of Star Formation with the Stochastic Background of Binary Black Hole Mergers
The Astrophysical JournalAlthough the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA collaboration detects many individually resolvable gravitational-wave events from binary black hole mergers, those that are too weak to be identified individually contribute to the stochastic gravitational-wave background ...

GECKO Follow-up Observations of the Binary Neutron Star–Black Hole Merger Candidate S230518h
The Astrophysical JournalThe gravitational-wave (GW) event S230518h is a potential binary neutron star–black hole merger (NSBH) event that was detected during engineering run 15, which served as the commissioning period before the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA O4a observing run.

Precision cosmology from future lensed gravitational wave and electromagnetic signals
Nature Communications, 2017 Gravitational wave sources can be used as cosmological probes through a direct distance luminosity relation. Here, the authors demonstrate that the time delay between lensed gravitational wave signals and their electromagnetic counterparts can reduce the

Gravitational waves and astrophysical sources
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2013 In linear approximation to general relativity, gravitational waves can be thought of as perturbation of the background metric that propagate at the speed of light. A time-varying quadrupole of matter distribution causes the emission of gravitational waves.

The Detection Prospect of the Counter Jet Radiation in the Late Afterglow of GRB 170817A
The Astrophysical JournalThe central engine of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is widely believed to launch a pair of oppositely moving jets, i.e., the forward jet moving toward us and the counter jet regressing away.

Examining the Gap in the Chirp Mass Distribution of Binary Black Holes
The Astrophysical JournalThe mass distribution of binary black holes inferred from gravitational-wave measurements is expected to shed light on their formation mechanisms. An emerging structure in the mass distribution indicates the presence of multiple peaks around chirp masses
