A Gravitational-wave Measurement of the Hubble Constant Following the Second Observing Run of Advanced LIGO and Virgo

B. P. Abbott et al.

Summary: This paper presents a joint measurement of the Hubble constant using gravitational-wave detections, including neutron star and black hole detections, in conjunction with galaxy catalogs. The updated measurement shows improvement over previous values, with an additional contribution from a well-localized detection. The results pave the way for cosmology using gravitational-wave observations with or without transient electromagnetic counterparts.

Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

R. Abbott et al.

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.

A refined Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflationary theoretical framework

V. K. Oikonomou

Summary: In this work, a refined Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflationary theoretical framework is provided, which is compatible with observational constraints on the gravitational wave speed. By introducing new assumptions and conditions, much simpler expressions for the slow-roll indices, tensor and scalar spectral indices, and tensor-to-scalar ratio are successfully derived. A particular model with a blue-tilted tensor spectral index is exemplified, showing compatibility with the latest Planck data and potential to describe the NANOGrav result according to recent literature.

Rory Smith et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that current Bayesian inference paradigms can be extended to analyze binary neutron star signals and accelerate the inference process through reduced-order models. This method can effectively handle data containing multiple overlapping gravitational-wave signals and is suitable for high signal-to-noise-ratio events in 3G gravitational-wave detectors.

Summary: This report presents 39 candidate gravitational-wave events detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between April 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019. The events include black hole binary mergers up to a redshift of approximately 0.8 and events where the components cannot be unambiguously identified.

Improved gravitational-wave constraints on higher-order curvature theories of gravity

Scott E. Perkins et al.

Summary: By observing gravitational waves from compact binaries, researchers can test general relativity and its modifications in strong and dynamic gravitational fields. The study compared two extensions to general relativity, dynamical Chern-Simons and Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet theories, and strengthened constraints on the coupling parameter in the latter theory. The results also showed the robustness of the constraints to various factors such as waveform models and uncertainties in the nature of compact objects.

Tests of general relativity with binary black holes from the second LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalog

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: Gravitational waves are used to test general relativity in strong-field regimes, with evaluations of data consistency showing no evidence for new physics beyond general relativity. Modifying waveform parameters and constraints on Lorentz-violating coefficients have improved past limitations, while analysis of merger remnants and polarization confirms agreement with theoretical predictions.

Computationally efficient models for the dominant and subdominant harmonic modes of precessing binary black holes

Geraint Pratten et al.

Summary: IMRPhenomXPHM is a phenomenological frequency-domain model for gravitational-wave signals from quasicircular precessing binary black holes, incorporating higher order multipoles beyond the dominant quadrupole. The model is an extension of IMRPhenomXHM, using approximate maps and specific choices to enhance accuracy and speed. With reduced computational cost and improved interpolation techniques, it provides a productive tool for gravitational wave astronomy in the current era of increased event detections.

Probing hybrid stars with gravitational waves via interfacial modes

Shu Yan Lau et al.

Summary: The study investigates the dynamical tides of the interfacial mode (i-mode) in hybrid stars, finding that the resonant frequency typically ranges from 300 Hz to 1500 Hz and increases with the shear modulus of the quark core. The research also estimates the detectability of the i-mode with existing and future gravitational-wave events, suggesting that GW170817 and GW190425 have the potential to detect the i-mode under certain conditions, and third-generation detectors can further probe the i-mode. The hybrid method used in the study is compared to a fully-Newtonian analysis, showing that the results are in agreement within a factor of a few.

Evolution of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity using a modified harmonic formulation

William E. East et al.

Summary: This study presents numerical solutions for several spacetimes in shift-symmetric ESGB gravity, demonstrating methods for solving full equations of motion without approximation. The methods are shown to be generally applicable to Horndeski theories of gravity and have been successfully applied to various physical scenarios such as binary black hole mergers and black hole collisions with scalar hair. This approach allows for predictions in strong-field and nonperturbative regimes, which can be compared with gravitational wave observations and approximate treatments of modifications to general relativity.

On the Nature of GW190814 and Its Impact on the Understanding of Supranuclear Matter

Ingo Tews et al.

Summary: The observation suggests that the compact object has a mass of 2.50-2.67M99.9%, and even with relaxed constraints on the maximum mass of neutron stars, the probability of a binary black hole origin remains around 81%. Analysis of the allowed region in the mass-radius diagram for neutron stars indicates that the scenario with a neutron star as the secondary object would require a rather stiff equation of state.
