GstLAL: A software framework for gravitational wave discovery

Kipp Cannon et al.

Summary: The GstLAL library, originating from Gstreamer and the LIGO Algorithm Library, utilizes a stream-based method for processing gravitational-wave data. While primarily used for detecting gravitational-wave signatures of merging black holes and neutron stars, GstLAL has also been important in other gravitational-wave searches, data calibration, and detector-characterization efforts. It has been crucial in all LIGO-Virgo collaboration detections and has enabled rapid electromagnetic follow-up for numerous compact binary candidates.

Does NGC 6397 contain an intermediate-mass black hole or a more diffuse inner subcluster?

Eduardo Vitral et al.

Summary: Analyzing the motions and density profiles of the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397, it was found that there is strong evidence suggesting the presence of a central dark component rather than an intermediate-mass black hole. This dark component may be composed of unresolved objects, indicating a high concentration of compact stars due to dynamical friction. The results also suggest that stellar-mass black holes could dominate this dark component, potentially playing a role in the gravitational wave events detected by LIGO.

Formation of GW190521 from stellar evolution: the impact of the hydrogen-rich envelope, dredge-up, and 12C(α, γ)16O rate on the pair-instability black hole mass gap

Guglielmo Costa et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mass gap in the black hole mass spectrum, considering uncertainties related to the carbon-oxygen reaction rate and collapse of hydrogen-rich envelope. The experiments show that the mass gap ranges between 70 and 150 solar masses, with a possibility of complete removal due to certain effects.

The Advanced Virgo photon calibrators

D. Estevez et al.

Summary: With the increasing sensitivities of LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA detectors, calibration of interferometers output becomes more important. Virgo used photon calibrators for the first time in observation O3, based on the gold standard to remove systematic bias. The uncertainty of PCal-induced displacement is expected to be further reduced in future observations.

GW190521 as a Merger of Proca Stars: A Potential New Vector Boson of 8.7 x 10-13 eV

Juan Calderon Bustillo et al.

Summary: GW190521 is a short gravitational-wave signal interpreted as a quasicircular merger of black holes, forming a remnant black hole with a mass of about 142 solar masses. Despite the lack of visible premerger emission, further investigation is needed to understand the pre-merger dynamics and nature of the colliding objects.

GW190521 Mass Gap Event and the Primordial Black Hole Scenario

V De Luca et al.

Summary: The LIGO/Virgo Collaboration observed GW190521, the first binary black hole merger with the primary component mass in the mass gap predicted by the pair-instability supernova theory, disfavoring the standard stellar-origin formation scenario for the heavier black hole. The study shows that GW190521 cannot be explained within the primordial black hole scenario if PBHs do not accrete during their cosmological evolution, but may have a primordial origin if PBHs accrete efficiently before the reionization epoch.

Jumping the Gap: Searching for LIGO's Biggest Black Holes

Jose Maria Ezquiaga et al.

Summary: Gravitational wave detections of binary black holes have shown a lack of component black holes with masses above 50M, in line with the existence of a mass gap due to pair-instability supernovae. It is argued that ground-based GW detectors may be sensitive to BBHs with masses above this gap, while also considering the impact of interloper black holes within the mass gap. Future instruments like Cosmic Explorer, Einstein Telescope, and LISA could observe these BBHs, potentially dominating multiband events. By comparing observations from ground and space, it is possible to constrain the merger rate history and use high-mass BBHs as standard sirens to constrain cosmic expansion at different redshifts.

The Pair-instability Mass Gap for Black Holes

S. E. Woosley et al.

Summary: The study examines the factors affecting the theoretical estimates for the boundaries of the mass gap between black holes and supernovae, including nuclear reaction rates, evolution in detached binaries, rotation, and hyper-Eddington accretion after black hole birth. Current uncertainties in reaction rates may allow the lower boundary of the mass gap to rise to 64 solar masses, while rapid rotation and super-Eddington accretion could further increase this lower limit.

Summary: The study reveals unique characteristics of the merging binary black hole (BBH) population, including a specific primary mass spectrum and misaligned component spins leading to precession of the orbital plane. The research also estimates merger rates, indicating potential correlation between BBH rate and redshift but not exceeding the star formation rate. Additionally, recent exceptional events are examined in relation to population models, with GW190814 being identified as an outlier due to its low secondary mass.

Maximum black hole mass across cosmic time

Jorick S. Vink et al.

Summary: Recent detection of a 85M(circle dot) BH challenges the theory of pair-instability limit. Using mesa simulations, it is found that 90-100 M(circle dot) stars at reduced metallicity can produce BH within the 'impossible' range by proper consideration of core overshooting and stellar wind physics. This modeling doubles the maximum BH mass set by pair-instability and opens up possibilities for probing stellar BH mass as a function of metallicity and cosmic time.

Mass-gap Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei

Hiromichi Tagawa et al.

Summary: The recently discovered gravitational wave sources GW190521 and GW190814 show evidence of black hole mergers that deviate from traditional isolated stellar evolution models, indicating the possibility of hierarchical mergers in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) disks. The properties of the observed events are consistent with theoretical models of mergers in AGN disks, including high BH masses in GW190521 and low mass gap mergers in GW190814. These findings suggest that mergers in AGN disks may play a significant role in the formation of gravitational wave sources.

GW190521 May Be an Intermediate-mass Ratio Inspiral

Alexander H. Nitz et al.

Summary: GW190521 is the first confident observation of a binary black hole merger with total mass exceeding 100 solar masses. Different priors led to a bimodal posterior distribution in mass, with the high-mass-ratio mode dominating in maximum-likelihood parameters. Results differ from previous studies, suggesting the presence of a mass gap and emphasizing the importance of considering all possible scenarios in analyses.
