Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment
for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address …

Gravitational-wave detections are enabling measurements of the rate of coalescences of
binaries composed of two compact objects—neutron stars and/or black holes. The …

We report on the population properties of compact binary mergers inferred from gravitational-
wave observations of these systems during the first three LIGO-Virgo observing runs. The …

We analyze the population properties of black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs) in
compact binary systems using data from the LIGO–Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient …

The second LIGO/Virgo observing run (O2) spanned 9 months between 2016 November
and 2017 August, building on the first, 4-month run (O1) in 2015. The LIGO/Virgo …

When two black holes merge in a dense star cluster, they form a new black hole with a well-
defined mass and spin. If that “second-generation” black hole remains in the cluster, it will …

Gravitational-wave detectors are starting to reveal the redshift evolution of the binary black
hole (BBH) merger rate, R BBH (z). We make predictions for R BBH (z) as a function of black …

Hierarchical analysis of binary black hole (BBH) detections by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo
detectors has offered an increasingly clear picture of their mass, spin, and redshift …

We study the impact of mass-transfer physics on the observable properties of binary black
hole populations that formed through isolated binary evolution. We used the POSYDON …
