Among the various candidates for dark matter (DM), ultralight vector DM can be probed by laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors through the measurement of oscillating length changes in the arm cavities. In this context, KAGRA has a unique feature due to differing compositions of its mirrors, enhancing the signal of vector DM in the length change in the auxiliary channels. Here we present the result of a search for U (1) B− L gauge boson DM using the KAGRA data from auxiliary length channels during the first joint observation run together with GEO600. By applying our search pipeline, which takes into account the stochastic nature of ultralight DM, upper bounds on the coupling strength between the U (1) B− L gauge boson and ordinary matter are obtained for a range of DM masses. While our constraints are less stringent than those derived from previous experiments, this study demonstrates the applicability of our method to the lower-mass vector DM search, which is made difficult in this measurement by the short observation time compared to the auto-correlation time scale of DM.

The second Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2, reported on 39 compact binary coalescences observed by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors between 1 April 2019 15∶ 00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15∶ 00 UTC. Here, we present GWTC-2.1, which reports on a deeper list of candidate events observed over the same period. We analyze the final version of the strain data over this period with improved calibration and better subtraction of excess noise, which has been publicly released. We employ three matched-filter search pipelines for candidate identification, and estimate the probability of astrophysical origin for each candidate event. While GWTC-2 used a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per year, we include in GWTC-2.1, 1201 candidates that pass a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per day. We calculate the source properties of a subset of 44 high-significance candidates that have a …

The detection of GW170817 (Abbott et al. 2017b) coincident with the short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A (Goldstein et al. 2017; Savchenko et al. 2017) was a groundbreaking discovery for the multimessenger era. Not only was it the first binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected by the gravitational-wave (GW) instruments Advanced LIGO (Aasi et al. 2015) and Advanced Virgo (Acernese et al. 2014), it was also the first, and to date only, GW detection with a confirmed electromagnetic (EM) counterpart. Since then, the search for EM emission from more of these extreme events has been at the forefront of multimessenger astronomy, particularly in the gamma-ray energy band, since GRB 170817A demonstrated that BNS mergers are a progenitor of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; Abbott et al. 2017a). GWs have also been observed from the mergers of other compact objects, such as binary black hole (BBH) and …

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 Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog 3 (GWTC-3) contains signals consistent with three classes of binary mergers: binary black hole, binary neutron star, and neutron star–black hole mergers. We infer the binary neutron star merger rate to be between 10 and 1700 Gpc− 3 yr− 1 and the neutron star–black hole merger rate to be between 7.8 and 140 Gpc− 3 yr− 1, assuming a constant rate density in the comoving frame and taking the union of 90% credible intervals for methods used in this work. We infer the binary black hole merger rate, allowing for evolution with redshift, to be between 17.9 and 44 Gpc− 3 yr− 1 at a fiducial redshift (z= 0.2). The rate of binary black hole mergers is observed to increase with redshift at a rate proportional …

No signals were detected. The most significant candidate has a false alarm rate of . We estimate the sensitivity of our search over the entirety of Advanced LIGO’s and Advanced Virgo’s third observing run, and present the most stringent limits to date on the merger rate of binary black holes with at least one subsolar-mass component. We use the upper limits to constrain two fiducial scenarios that could produce subsolar-mass black holes: primordial black holes (PBH) and a model of dissipative dark matter. The PBH model uses recent prescriptions for the merger rate of PBH binaries that …

Despite the growing number of candidates and the insight they have provided, the astrophysical sites and processes that produce the observed merging binaries remain uncertain. Multiple viable scenarios exist. The binary black holes could have formed in an isolated stellar binary (eg, Bethe & Brown 1998; Dominik et al. 2015; Inayoshi et al. 2017; Marchant et al. 2016; de Mink & Mandel 2016; Gallegos-Garcia et al. 2021), via dynamical interactions in dense stellar clusters (eg, Portegies Zwart & McMillan 2000; Banerjee et al. 2010; Ziosi et al. 2014; Morscher et al. 2015; Mapelli 2016; Rodriguez et al. 2016a; Askar et al. 2017) or triple systems (eg, Antonini et al. 2017; Martinez et al. 2020; Vigna-Gómez et al. 2021), or via gas capture in the disks of active galactic nuclei (AGN; eg, McKernan et al. 2012; Bartos et al. 2017; Fragione et al. 2019; Tagawa et al. 2020).

The design of steel structures has evolved thanks to the increased ability to model the behavior of more complex structures. However, further constraints arise from the need for a transition toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. In particular, the assessment of the economic benefits and efficiency of existing production systems should be integrated with assessment of environmental, economic and social sustainability. In the case of steel, and limited to the environmental dimension, the literature covers various study areas, ranging from the analysis of resource flows to the assessment of steel’s environmental impacts. However, an integrated view of existing peer-reviewed studies is currently missing. The purpose of this work is to overcome this shortcoming with a review that considers and integrates research on the steel life cycle from various perspectives: analysis of material flows; quantification of emissions; environmental monitoring and indicators; and circular economy aspects, including reuse and recycling. This study is based on a deep bibliometric and bibliographical analysis of the above-cited aspects, including the key topics, authors and journals, to single out some potential research directions that have previously been neglected. The results of the analyses indicate that, even though discussed in the literature, the redesign of products is still lacking adequate consideration. The same gap was also evidenced when it came to studies on the management of waste materials and recommissioning. There is also still a lack of knowledge on the possible meaningful indicators of environmental sustainability in the case of …

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond duration radio pulses that have been observed out to cosmological distances, several with inferred redshifts greater than unity (Lorimer et al. 2007; Cordes & Chatterjee 2019; Petroff et al. 2019). Although intensely studied for more than a decade, the emission mechanisms and progenitor populations of FRBs are still one of the outstanding questions in astronomy. Some FRBs have been shown to repeat (Amiri et al. 2019a; CHIME/FRB Collaboration et al. 2019; Kumar et al. 2019), and the recent association of an FRB with the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+ 2154 proves that magnetars can produce FRBs (Bochenek et al. 2020; CHIME/FRB Collaboration et al. 2020). Alternative progenitors and mechanisms to produce nonrepeating FRBs are still credible and have so far not been ruled out (Zhang 2020a). Data currently suggest that both repeating and nonrepeating classes of …

Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Orbital eccentricity is one of the clearest tracers of binary formation channels. Identifying binary eccentricity, however, remains challenging due to the limited availability of gravitational waveforms that include effects of eccentricity. Here, we present observational results for a waveform-independent search sensitive to eccentric black hole coalescences, covering the third observing run (O3) of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. We identified no new high-significance candidates beyond those that were already identified with searches focusing on quasi-circular binaries. We determine the sensitivity of our search to high-mass (total mass ) binaries covering eccentricities up to 0.3 at 15 Hz orbital frequency, and use this to compare model predictions to search results. Assuming all detections are indeed quasi-circular, for our fiducial population model, we place an upper limit for the merger rate density of high-mass binaries with eccentricities at Gpc yr at 90\% confidence level.

The global network of gravitational-wave observatories now includes five detectors, namely LIGO Hanford, LIGO Livingston, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO 600. These detectors collected data during their third observing run, O3, composed of three phases: O3a starting in April of 2019 and lasting six months, O3b starting in November of 2019 and lasting five months, and O3GK starting in April of 2020 and lasting 2 weeks. In this paper we describe these data and various other science products that can be freely accessed through the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center at https://gwosc.org. The main dataset, consisting of the gravitational-wave strain time series that contains the astrophysical signals, is released together with supporting data useful for their analysis and documentation, tutorials, as well as analysis software packages.

This paper describes the results of the preliminary application tests for a stand-alone prototype data acquisition system. The system was developed for monitoring and characterizing the vibroacoustic landscape and, in particular, the vibroacoustic heritage, such as music instruments, performing spaces and areas of historical relevance. The tests, performed on a building in the historical center of Napoli, show a possible interconnection between acoustic and displacement signals, as external forcing of the monitored structure, with exchange of the cause-and-effect roles, especially at low frequency.

In this Letter, we present the design and performance of the frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source that will be used for the broadband quantum noise reduction of the Advanced Virgo Plus gravitational-wave detector in the upcoming observation run. The frequency-dependent squeezed field is generated by a phase rotation of a frequency-independent squeezed state through a 285 m long, high-finesse, near-detuned optical resonator. With about 8.5 dB of generated squeezing, up to 5.6 dB of quantum noise suppression has been measured at high frequency while close to the filter cavity resonance frequency, the intracavity losses limit this value to about 2 dB. Frequency-dependent squeezing is produced with a rotation frequency stability of about 6 Hz rms, which is maintained over the long term. The achieved results fulfill the frequency dependent squeezed vacuum source requirements for Advanced …

Violins are wooden musical instruments, whose quality is mainly evaluated on the basis of their aesthetics, as well as depending on the historical relevance of their makers. However, their acoustic quality remains a key evaluation parameter for performers and listeners. The instrument perceived quality, in turn, depends on one side, on the player, the environmental conditions and on the listeners’ psychoacoustic factors. On the other side, the quality of a violin depends on its materials, constructive and set-up parameters, that impact on the vibro-acoustical characteristics of the instrument. This work investigates a procedure for the vibro-acoustic characterization of a violin, here called vibro-acoustic fingerprint, as an example of vibro-acoustical characterization of a wooden music instrument. The procedure was applied, as a case study, to an Italian contemporary violin, built on the basis of a Guarneri del Gesù model in the year 2011.

The discovery of a gravitational wave (GW) signal from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger (Abbott et al. 2017a) and the kilonova emission from its remnant (Coulter et al. 2017; Abbott et al. 2017b) provided the first GW standard siren measurement of the cosmic expansion history (Abbott et al. 2017c). As pointed out by Schutz (1986), the GW signal from a compact binary coalescence directly measures the luminosity distance to the source without any additional distance calibrator, earning these sources the name “standard sirens”(Holz & Hughes 2005). Measuring the cosmic expansion as a function of the cosmological redshift is one of the key avenues with which to explore the constituents of the universe, along with the other canonical probes such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB; Spergel et al. 2003, 2007; Komatsu et al. 2011; Ade et al. 2014, 2016; Aghanim et al. 2020), baryon acoustic oscillations …

FEM-based models of real-time dynamic structural behavior in archaeology and monumental heritage: the case of ancient Greek colonnades

Authors

The preservation of historical buildings and infrastructures requires a multidisciplinary approach to provide a real-time knowledge of their dynamical structural behavior. For this task, an effective procedure can be based on the integration between tailored dynamic models, optimized through an iterative synergic process, and an adaptive and modular distributed monitoring system. With respect to modelling, a Finite Element Model (FEM) is a valid solution. In fact, it is not only an effective reference dynamical model, but it can also be used to support the definition of the potential technical requirements for the sensors (eg, typology, sensitivity, band and number) that will be installed to monitor the chosen structure. We applied this idea to the case of an ancient Greek colonnade, building a FEM validated through published experimental measures. The obtained results prove that this model, behind its traditional use to describe the dynamic structural behaviour of a monument, can serve as a the basis of a metrological tool, especially during the iterative optimization process, to define the technical characteristics of distributed structural monitoring systems.

The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected GW signals in the past few years, alongside the two Advanced LIGO instruments. First during the last month of the Observation Run 2 (O2) in August 2017 (with, most notably, the compact binary mergers GW170814 and GW170817), and then during the full Observation Run 3 (O3): an 11 months data taking period, between April 2019 and March 2020, that led to the addition of 79 events to the catalog of transient GW sources maintained by LIGO, Virgo and now KAGRA. These discoveries and the manifold exploitation of the detected waveforms benefit from an accurate characterization of the quality of the data, such as continuous study and monitoring of the detector noise sources. These activities, collectively named detector characterization and data quality or DetChar, span the whole workflow of the Virgo data …

Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about fundamental physics, cosmology and astrophysics. In this work, we have extended the search for lensing signatures to all binary black hole events from the third observing run of the LIGO--Virgo network. We search for repeated signals from strong lensing by 1) performing targeted searches for subthreshold signals, 2) calculating the degree of overlap amongst the intrinsic parameters and sky location of pairs of signals, 3) comparing the similarities of the spectrograms amongst pairs of signals, and 4) performing dual-signal Bayesian analysis that takes into account selection effects and astrophysical knowledge. We also search for distortions to the gravitational waveform caused by 1) frequency-independent phase shifts in strongly lensed images, and 2) frequency-dependent modulation of the amplitude and phase due to point masses. None of these searches yields significant evidence for lensing. Finally, we use the non-detection of gravitational-wave lensing to constrain the lensing rate based on the latest merger-rate estimates and the fraction of dark matter composed of compact objects.

The third Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3) describes signals detected with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo up to the end of their third observing run. Updating the previous GWTC-2.1, we present candidate gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences during the second half of the third observing run (O3b) between 1 November 2019, 15∶ 00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and 27 March 2020, 17∶ 00 UTC. There are 35 compact binary coalescence candidates identified by at least one of our search algorithms with a probability of astrophysical origin p astro> 0.5. Of these, 18 were previously reported as low-latency public alerts, and 17 are reported here for the first time. Based upon estimates for the component masses, our O3b candidates with p astro> 0.5 are consistent with gravitational-wave signals from binary black holes or neutron-star–black-hole binaries, and we identify …

While completing the commissioning phase to prepare the Virgo interferometer for the next joint Observation Run (O4), the Virgo collaboration is also finalizing the design of the next upgrades to the detector to be employed in the following Observation Run (O5). The major upgrade will concern decreasing the thermal noise limit, which will imply using very large test masses and increased laser beam size. But this will not be the only upgrade to be implemented in the break between the O4 and O5 observation runs to increase the Virgo detector strain sensitivity. The paper will cover the challenges linked to this upgrade and implications on the detector’s reach and observational potential, reflecting the talk given at 12th Cosmic Ray International Seminar-CRIS 2022 held in September 2022 in Napoli.

Detector characterization and data quality studies—collectively referred to as DetChar activities in this article—are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the joint dataset collected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA global network of ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. They take place during each phase of the operation of the instruments (upgrade, tuning and optimization, data taking), are required at all steps of the dataflow (from data acquisition to the final list of GW events) and operate at various latencies (from near real-time to vet the public alerts to offline analyses). This work requires a wide set of tools which have been developed over the years to fulfill the requirements of the various DetChar studies: data access and bookkeeping; global monitoring of the instruments and of the different steps of the data processing; studies of the global properties of the noise at the detector outputs; identification and …

We report on a search for compact binary coalescences where at least one binary component has a mass between 0.2 M⊙ and 1.0 M⊙ in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo data collected between 1 April 2019 1500 UTC and 1 October 2019 1500 UTC. We extend our previous analyses in two main ways: we include data from the Virgo detector and we allow for more unequal mass systems, with mass ratio q≥ 0.1. We do not report any gravitational-wave candidates. The most significant trigger has a false alarm rate of 0.14 yr− 1. This implies an upper limit on the merger rate of subsolar binaries in the range [220− 24200] Gpc− 3 yr− 1, depending on the chirp mass of the binary. We use this upper limit to derive astrophysical constraints on two phenomenological models that could produce subsolar-mass compact objects. One is an isotropic distribution of equal-mass primordial black holes. Using this model, we …

The three advanced Virgo and LIGO gravitational wave detectors participated to the third observing run (O3) between 1 April 2019 15: 00 UTC and 27 March 2020 17: 00 UTC, leading to several gravitational wave detections per month. This paper describes the advanced Virgo detector calibration and the reconstruction of the detector strain h (t) during O3, as well as the estimation of the associated uncertainties. For the first time, the photon calibration technique as been used as reference for Virgo calibration, which allowed to cross-calibrate the strain amplitude of the Virgo and LIGO detectors. The previous reference, so-called free swinging Michelson technique, has still been used but as an independent cross-check. h (t) reconstruction and noise subtraction were processed online, with good enough quality to prevent the need for offline reprocessing, except for the two last weeks of September 2019.

Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient sensitivity worsening and gaps in data taking. During the one year-long third observing run (O3: from April 01, 2019 to March 27, 2020), the Virgo Collaboration collected a statistically significant dataset, used in this article to study the response of the detector to a variety of environmental conditions. We correlated environmental parameters to global detector performance, such as observation range, duty cycle and control losses. Where possible, we identified weaknesses in the detector that will be used to elaborate strategies in order to improve Virgo robustness against external disturbances for the next data taking period, O4, currently planned to start at the end of 2022. The lessons learned could also provide useful insights for the …

To date, the LIGO and Virgo observatories have made detections of numerous sources of gravitational radiation. These detections have been of transient gravitational waves (GWs) from the inspiral and subsequent mergers of compact binary objects including binary black holes and binary neutron stars (Abbott et al. 2021a). Recently, the list of observed events expanded to include neutron star, black hole binaries (Abbott et al. 2021b). There remain other types of GW sources that are yet to be observed such as continuous GW (CW) sources. Unlike transients, CW signals are almost monochromatic, with their amplitude and frequency changing very slowly over yearlong timescales. The mass quadrupoles of these sources, such as deformed neutron stars, are expected to be far smaller than those involved in compact binaries, and therefore only the local galactic sources are likely to produce detectable signals. Likely …

Abstract The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO instruments. First, during the last month of the Observation Run 2 (O2) in August 2017 (with, most notably, the compact binary mergers GW170814 and GW170817) and then during the full Observation Run 3 (O3): an 11 months data taking period, between April 2019 and March 2020, that led to the addition of about 80 events to the catalog of transient gravitational-wave sources maintained by LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA. These discoveries and the manifold exploitation of the detected waveforms require an accurate characterization of the quality of the data, such as continuous study and monitoring of the detector noise. These activities, collectively named {\em detector characterization} or {\em DetChar}, span the whole workflow of the Virgo data, from the instrument front-end to the final analysis. They are described in details in the following article, with a focus on the associated tools, the results achieved by the Virgo DetChar group during the O3 run and the main prospects for future data-taking periods with an improved detector.

Urbanization process produces relevant negative impacts that need to be monitored. Within smart cities, extensive networks of standalone environmental sensors, potentially integrable within cloud computing capabilities, should serve as the basis of innovative near real-time monitoring systems, being able to characterize and to detect the variability of urban environmental parameters. While the interest is often concentrated on air quality and acoustic noise, other parameters might be of interest, including vibrations, since they can exert a relevant impact on human health and urban assents (buildings and infrastructures). This work focuses on the application of an innovative broadband monolithic mechanical seismometer, produced and commercialized by Advanced Scientific Sensors and Systems (Adv3S™), used as a stand-alone sensor to detect the features of the vibroscape (i.e.: the totality of vibrations of natural …

Results are presented of searches for continuous gravitational waves from 20 accreting millisecond x-ray pulsars with accurately measured spin frequencies and orbital parameters, using data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The search algorithm uses a hidden Markov model, where the transition probabilities allow the frequency to wander according to an unbiased random walk, while the J-statistic maximum-likelihood matched filter tracks the binary orbital phase. Three narrow subbands are searched for each target, centered on harmonics of the measured spin frequency. The search yields 16 candidates, consistent with a false alarm probability of 30% per subband and target searched. These candidates, along with one candidate from an additional target-of-opportunity search done for SAX J 1808.4− 3658, which was in outburst during one month of the observing …

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves which can be produced by spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis, using data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Four different analysis methods are used to search in a gravitational-wave frequency band from 10 to 2048 Hz and a first frequency derivative from− 10− 8 to 10− 9 Hz/s. No statistically significant periodic gravitational-wave signal is observed by any of the four searches. As a result, upper limits on the gravitational-wave strain amplitude h 0 are calculated. The best upper limits are obtained in the frequency range of 100 to 200 Hz and they are∼ 1.1× 10− 25 at 95% confidence level. The minimum upper limit of 1.10× 10− 25 is achieved at a frequency 111.5 Hz. We also place constraints on the rates and abundances of nearby planetary-and asteroid-mass …

No gravitational wave signal is detected in the search band of 20–976 Hz for assumed source ages greater than 300 years for Cas A and greater than 700 years for Vela Jr. Estimates from simulated continuous wave signals indicate we achieve the most sensitive results to date across the explored parameter space volume, probing to strain magnitudes as low as∼ 6.3× 10− 26 for Cas A and∼ 5.6× 10− 26 for Vela Jr. at frequencies near 166 Hz at 95% efficiency.

We present the first results from an all-sky all-frequency (ASAF) search for an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using the data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Upper limit maps on broadband anisotropies of a persistent stochastic background were published for all observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo detectors. However, a broadband analysis is likely to miss narrowband signals as the signal-to-noise ratio of a narrowband signal can be significantly reduced when combined with detector output from other frequencies. Data folding and the computationally efficient analysis pipeline, PyStoch, enable us to perform the radiometer map-making at every frequency bin. We perform the search at 3072 HEALPix equal area pixels uniformly tiling the sky and in every frequency bin of width 1/32 Hz in the range 20–1726 Hz, except for bins that are likely to …

Mechanical monolithic inertial sensors for historical and archeological heritage real-time broadband monitoring

The evaluation of the health state of historical and archeological infrastructures requires an analysis of their dynamical behavior in connection with natural and anthropic actions, whose accuracy is mainly determined by the band and sensitivity of the sensors. The latter are generally accelerometers, consisting of classical mechanical oscillators with a force feedback control, whose improvement has been directed and determined by the progress of the control electronics in the last decades. The mechanics, instead, has experienced only a limited evolution, mainly due to the introduction of new materials and modern machining techniques. But recently the introduction of the UNISA folded pendulum technological platform, a synthesis of more than 10 years of research and development, is allowing the implementation of very low-frequency compact monolithic oscillators (<100 mHz), limited in sensitivity only by their …

Gravitational waves are expected to be produced from neutron star oscillations associated with magnetar giant flares and short bursts. We present the results of a search for short-duration (milliseconds to seconds) and long-duration ( 100 s) transient gravitational waves from 13 magnetar short bursts observed during Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA's third observation run. These 13 bursts come from two magnetars, SGR 19352154 and Swift J1818.01607. We also include three other electromagnetic burst events detected by Fermi GBM which were identified as likely coming from one or more magnetars, but they have no association with a known magnetar. No magnetar giant flares were detected during the analysis period. We find no evidence of gravitational waves associated with any of these 16 bursts. We place upper bounds on the root-sum-square of the integrated gravitational-wave strain that reach at 100 Hz for the short-duration search and at Hz for the long-duration search, given a detection efficiency of 50%. For a ringdown signal at 1590 Hz targeted by the short-duration search the limit is set to . Using the estimated distance to each magnetar, we derive upper bounds on the emitted gravitational-wave energy of erg ( erg) for SGR 19352154 and erg ( erg) for Swift J1818.01607, for the short-duration (long-duration) search. Assuming isotropic emission of electromagnetic radiation of the burst fluences, we constrain the ratio of gravitational-wave energy to electromagnetic energy for bursts from SGR 19352154 with available fluence …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are transient flashes of gamma radiation of cosmological origin observed at a rate of 1 per day (Nakar 2007). The interaction of matter with a compact central object, eg, an accreting black hole (BH; Woosley 1993; Popham et al. 1999) or a magnetar (Usov 1992; Zhang & Meszaros 2001), is believed to drive highly relativistic jets which power the prompt emission of these astrophysical events. GRBs are broadly grouped into two classes—long and short GRBs—depending on the duration and spectral hardness of their prompt emission (Mazets et al. 1981; Norris et al. 1984; Kouveliotou et al. 1993). Long, soft GRBs have durations 2 s and are firmly associated by optical observations to the collapse of massive stars (Galama et al. 1998; Hjorth et al. 2003; Stanek et al. 2003; Hjorth & Bloom 2012). Gravitational waves (GWs) will be radiated by the core-collapse process,(eg, Fryer & New …

We report the results of the first joint observation of the KAGRA detector with GEO 600. KAGRA is a cryogenic and underground gravitational-wave detector consisting of a laser interferometer with 3 km arms, located in Kamioka, Gifu, Japan. GEO 600 is a British–German laser interferometer with 600 m arms, located near Hannover, Germany. GEO 600 and KAGRA performed a joint observing run from April 7 to 20, 2020. We present the results of the joint analysis of the GEO–KAGRA data for transient gravitational-wave signals, including the coalescence of neutron-star binaries and generic unmodeled transients. We also perform dedicated searches for binary coalescence signals and generic transients associated with gamma-ray burst events observed during the joint run. No gravitational-wave events were identified. We evaluate the minimum detectable amplitude for various types of transient signals …

This paper describes the results of preliminary application tests for a stand-alone prototype data acquisition system. The system was developed for monitoring and characterizing the vibroacoustic landscape and, in particular, the vibroacoustic heritage, such as music instruments or performing spaces. The tests, performed on a building in the historical center of Napoli, show a possible interconnection between acoustic and displacement signals, as external forcing of the monitored structure, with exchange of the cause-and-effect roles, especially at low frequency.

Results are presented for a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass x-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to allow for spin wandering. This search improves on previous HMM-based searches of Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory data by including the orbital period in the search template grid, and by analyzing data from the latest (third) observing run. In the frequency range searched, from 60 to 500 Hz, we find no evidence of gravitational radiation. This is the most sensitive search for Scorpius X-1 using a HMM to date. For the most sensitive subband, starting at 256.06 Hz, we report an upper limit on gravitational wave strain (at 95% confidence) of h 0 95%= 6.16× 10− 26, assuming the orbital inclination angle takes its electromagnetically restricted value ι= 4 4. The upper limits on gravitational wave strain reported here are on average a …

We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst Project (CHIME/FRB), during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (1 April 2019 15: 00 UTC-1 Oct 2019 15: 00 UTC). Triggers from 22 FRBs were analyzed with a search that targets compact binary coalescences with at least one neutron star component. A targeted search for generic gravitational-wave transients was conducted on 40 FRBs. We find no significant evidence for a gravitational-wave association in either search. Given the large uncertainties in the distances of the FRBs inferred from the dispersion measures in our sample, however, this does not conclusively exclude any progenitor models that include emission of a gravitational wave of the types searched for from any of these FRB events. We report $90% $ confidence lower bounds on the distance to each FRB for a range of gravitational-wave progenitor models. By combining the inferred maximum distance information for each FRB with the sensitivity of the gravitational-wave searches, we set upper limits on the energy emitted through gravitational waves for a range of emission scenarios. We find values of order - erg for a range of different emission models with central gravitational wave frequencies in the range 70-3560 Hz. Finally, we also found no significant coincident detection of gravitational waves with the repeater, FRB 20200120E, which is the closest known extragalactic FRB.

Violins are complex wooden musical instruments, whose quality is mainly evaluated on the basis of their aesthetics, as well as depending on the historical relevance of their makers. However their acoustic quality remains a key evaluation parameter for performers and listeners. The instrument perceived quality, in turn, depends, on one side, on the player, the environmental conditions and on the listeners’ psychoacoustic factors. On the other side, the quality of a violin depends on its materials, constructive and setup parameters, that impact on the vibro-acoustical characteristics of the instrument. This work investigates a procedure for the vibro-acoustic characterization of a violin, here called vibro-acoustic fingerprint, as an example of vibro-acoustical characterization of a wooden music instrument. The procedure was applied, as a case study, to an Italian contemporary violin, built in the year 2011 by the violin-maker Enzo Cena on a Guarneri del Gesù model.

Continuous gravitational waves (CWs) are quasi-monochromatic signals expected to be ever-present in the data of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors such as Advanced LIGO (Aasi et al. 2015a) and Advanced Virgo (Acernese et al. 2015). While the observation of transient GWs from compact binary coalescences has become nearly commonplace (Abbott et al. 2021a), CWs have yet to be detected as of the third observing run (O3). One of the most enticing and commonly sought after sources of CWs is a rapidly spinning, asymmetric neutron star (NS); see Sieniawska & Bejger (2019) and Haskell &

We present a directed search for continuous gravitational wave (CW) signals emitted by spinning neutron stars located in the inner parsecs of the Galactic Center (GC). Compelling evidence for the presence of a numerous population of neutron stars has been reported in the literature, turning this region into a very interesting place to look for CWs. In this search, data from the full O3 LIGO-Virgo run in the detector frequency band [10, 2000] Hz have been used. No significant detection was found and 95% confidence level upper limits on the signal strain amplitude were computed, over the full search band, with the deepest limit of about 7.6× 10− 26 at≃ 142 Hz. These results are significantly more constraining than those reported in previous searches. We use these limits to put constraints on the fiducial neutron star ellipticity and r-mode amplitude. These limits can be also translated into constraints in the black hole …

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) span the approximate mass range 100−105 M⊙, between black holes (BHs) that formed by stellar collapse and the supermassive BHs at the centers of galaxies. Mergers of IMBH binaries are the most energetic gravitational-wave sources accessible by the terrestrial detector network. Searches of the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo did not yield any significant IMBH binary signals. In the third observing run (O3), the increased network sensitivity enabled the detection of GW190521, a signal consistent with a binary merger of mass ∼150 M⊙ providing direct evidence of IMBH formation. Here, we report on a dedicated search of O3 data for further IMBH binary mergers, combining both modeled (matched filter) and model-independent search methods. We find some marginal candidates, but none are sufficiently significant to indicate detection of …

We present the results of a model-based search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 using LIGO detector data from the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. This is a semicoherent search that uses details of the signal model to coherently combine data separated by less than a specified coherence time, which can be adjusted to balance sensitivity with computing cost. The search covered a range of gravitational-wave frequencies from 25 to 1600 Hz, as well as ranges in orbital speed, frequency, and phase determined from observational constraints. No significant detection candidates were found, and upper limits were set as a function of frequency. The most stringent limits, between 100 and 200 Hz, correspond to an amplitude h0 of about 10−25 when marginalized isotropically over the unknown inclination angle of the neutron star's rotation axis, or …

This paper describes the first all-sky search for long-duration, quasimonochromatic gravitational-wave signals emitted by ultralight scalar boson clouds around spinning black holes using data from the third observing run of Advanced LIGO. We analyze the frequency range from 20 to 610 Hz, over a small frequency derivative range around zero, and use multiple frequency resolutions to be robust towards possible signal frequency wanderings. Outliers from this search are followed up using two different methods, one more suitable for nearly monochromatic signals, and the other more robust towards frequency fluctuations. We do not find any evidence for such signals and set upper limits on the signal strain amplitude, the most stringent being≈ 10− 25 at around 130 Hz. We interpret these upper limits as both an “exclusion region” in the boson mass/black hole mass plane and the maximum detectable distance for a …

Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the consistency of the data with predictions from the theory. We first establish that residuals from the best-fit waveform are consistent with detector noise, and that the low-and high-frequency parts of the signals are in agreement. We then consider parametrized modifications to the waveform by varying post-Newtonian and phenomenological coefficients, improving past constraints by factors of∼ 2; we also find consistency with Kerr black holes when we specifically target signatures of the spin-induced quadrupole moment. Looking for gravitational-wave dispersion, we tighten constraints on Lorentz-violating coefficients by a factor of∼ 2.6 and bound the mass of the graviton to m g≤ 1.76× 10− 23 eV/c 2 with 90% credibility. We also analyze the …

We present the results of targeted searches for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts during the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, which took place from 2016 November to 2017 August. We have analyzed 98 gamma-ray bursts using an unmodeled search method that searches for generic transient gravitational waves and 42 with a modeled search method that targets compact-binary mergers as progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts. Both methods clearly detect the previously reported binary merger signal GW170817, with p-values of <9.38x10[SUP]-6[/SUP] (modeled) and 3.1x10[SUP]-4[/SUP] (unmodeled). We do not find any significant evidence for gravitational-wave signals associated with the other gamma-ray bursts analyzed, and therefore we report lower bounds on the distance to each of these, assuming various source types and signal morphologies. Using our final modeled search results, short gamma-ray burst observations, and assuming binary neutron star progenitors, we place bounds on the rate of short gamma-ray bursts as a function of redshift for z<=1. We estimate 0.07-1.80 joint detections with Fermi-GBM per year for the 2019-20 LIGO-Virgo observing run and 0.15-3.90 per year when current gravitational-wave detectors are operating at their design sensitivities.

Transient gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences (Abbott et al. 2019b, 2021a) have been directly observed by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (Advanced LIGO) detectors (Aasi et al. 2015a) and the Advanced Virgo detector (Acernese et al. 2015). Continuous GWs (CWs) have not yet been detected. The most likely sources of CWs detectable by ground-based interferometers are nonaxisymmetric, rapidly rotating neutron stars. Searches for CWs have been carried out targeting various isolated sources, including known pulsars with electromagnetic ephemerides (Abbott et al. 2019c, 2021b), neutron stars without ephemerides in the galactic center or in globular clusters (Aasi et al. 2013; Abbott et al. 2017; Dergachev et al. 2019; Piccinni et al. 2020), neutron stars in binary systems (Abbott et al. 2019d; Middleton et al. 2020; Zhang et al. 2021), and young …

We present results from a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass x-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to track spin wandering. This search improves on previous HMM-based searches of LIGO data by using an improved frequency domain matched filter, the J-statistic, and by analyzing data from Advanced LIGO’s second observing run. In the frequency range searched, from 60 to 650 Hz, we find no evidence of gravitational radiation. At 194.6 Hz, the most sensitive search frequency, we report an upper limit on gravitational wave strain (at 95% confidence) of h 0 95%= 3.47× 10− 25 when marginalizing over source inclination angle. This is the most sensitive search for Scorpius X-1, to date, that is specifically designed to be robust in the presence of spin wandering.

We report on gravitational-wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between 1 April 2019 15∶ 00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15∶ 00 UTC. By imposing a false-alarm-rate threshold of two per year in each of the four search pipelines that constitute our search, we present 39 candidate gravitational-wave events. At this threshold, we expect a contamination fraction of less than 10%. Of these, 26 candidate events were reported previously in near-real time through gamma-ray coordinates network notices and circulars; 13 are reported here for the first time. The catalog contains events whose sources are black hole binary mergers up to a redshift of approximately 0.8, as well as events whose components cannot be unambiguously identified as black holes or neutron stars. For the latter group, we are unable to …

Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences allow for the direct measurement of the luminosity distance to their source. This makes them standard-distance indicators, and in conjunction with an identified host galaxy or a set of possible host galaxies, they can be used as standard sirens to construct a redshift-distance relationship and measure cosmological parameters like the Hubble constant (H0; Schutz 1986; Holz & Hughes 2005; MacLeod & Hogan 2008; Nissanke et al. 2010; Sathyaprakash et al. 2010). The GW signature from the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817, along with its coincident electromagnetic (EM) transient associated with the host galaxy NGC4993, led to a first standard-siren measurement of H0 (Abbott et al. 2017a). This measurement is independent of other state-of-the-art measurements of H0, and in particular, independent of the cosmic distance ladder used to …

This erratum reports two errors, found respectively in the gwcosmo codebase used for estimating the Hubble constant H0 (Gray et al. 2020), and an associated galaxy catalog preprocessing script, both of which affect the results of the published article (Abbott et al. 2021).The first of the two errors is the absence of a factor of 1/(1+ z), where z is the galaxy redshift, in the in-catalog terms of the H0 likelihood within the implementation of Equation (7) in the published article. This factor should be present in order to account for cosmological time dilation while providing a prior from the galaxy redshift distribution. The introduction of this factor affects the results only marginally, since the corrections modify both the numerator and the denominator of the expression in Equation (7), and only a higher-order effect propagates to the final results. This, however, changes Figure 2 of the published article, since the correction of the …

The young (1–5 kyr) energetic pulsar PSR J0537− 6910 (Wang & Gotthelf 1998; Chen et al. 2006) resides in the Large Magellanic Cloud at a distance of 49.6 kpc (Pietrzyński et al. 2019). Its pulsations are only detectable at X-ray energies, and the pulsar was first observed by Marshall et al.(1998) using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during searches for pulsations from the remnant of SN1987A. Further observations with RXTE, prior to its decommissioning in early 2012, revealed that PSR J0537− 6910 often undergoes sudden changes in rotation frequency, ie, glitches, at a rate of more than three per year, and exhibits interesting interglitch behavior (Marshall et al. 2004; Middleditch et al. 2006; Andersson et al. 2018; Antonopoulou et al. 2018; Ferdman et al. 2018).

Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter under extreme conditions. A significant fraction of the known pulsar population belongs to binary systems. Searching for unknown neutron stars in binary systems requires specialized algorithms to address unknown orbital frequency modulations. We present a search for continuous gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars in binary systems in early data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors using the semicoherent, GPU-accelerated, b inary s ky h ough pipeline. The search analyzes the most sensitive frequency band of the LIGO detectors, 50–300 Hz. Binary orbital parameters are split into four regions, comprising orbital periods of three to 45 days and projected semimajor axes of two to 40 light …

We report results from searches for anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds using data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. For the first time, we include Virgo data in our analysis and run our search with a new efficient pipeline called p y s toch on data folded over one sidereal day. We use gravitational-wave radiometry (broadband and narrow band) to produce sky maps of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds and to search for gravitational waves from point sources. A spherical harmonic decomposition method is employed to look for gravitational-wave emission from spatially-extended sources. Neither technique found evidence of gravitational-wave signals. Hence we derive 95% confidence-level upper limit sky maps on the gravitational-wave energy flux from broadband point sources, ranging from F α, Θ<(0.013–7.6)× 10− 8 erg cm− 2 s− 1 …

We present a search for dark photon dark matter that could couple to gravitational-wave interferometers using data from Advanced LIGO and Virgo’s third observing run. To perform this analysis, we use two methods, one based on cross-correlation of the strain channels in the two nearly aligned LIGO detectors, and one that looks for excess power in the strain channels of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. The excess power method optimizes the Fourier transform coherence time as a function of frequency, to account for the expected signal width due to Doppler modulations. We do not find any evidence of dark photon dark matter with a mass between m A∼ 10− 14–10− 11 eV/c 2, which corresponds to frequencies between 10–2000 Hz, and therefore provide upper limits on the square of the minimum coupling of dark photons to baryons, ie, U (1) B dark matter. For the cross-correlation method, the best median constraint …

This paper presents the results of a search for generic short-duration gravitational-wave transients in data from the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. Transients with durations of milliseconds to a few seconds in the 24–4096 Hz frequency band are targeted by the search, with no assumptions made regarding the incoming signal direction, polarization, or morphology. Gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences that have been identified by other targeted analyses are detected, but no statistically significant evidence for other gravitational wave bursts is found. Sensitivities to a variety of signals are presented. These include updated upper limits on the source rate density as a function of the characteristic frequency of the signal, which are roughly an order of magnitude better than previous upper limits. This search is sensitive to sources radiating as little as∼ 10− 10 M⊙ c 2 in …

We report the experimental results of a prototype balance for the Archimedes experiment, devoted to measure the interaction between quantum vacuum energy and gravity. The prototype is a beam balance working at room temperature which shares with the final balance several mechanical and optical components. The balance sensitivity has been tested at the site of the Virgo gravitational wave detector in order to benefit from its quiet environment and control facilities. This allowed also the test of the coherence of the balance data with the Virgo interferometer signal and with the environmental data. In the low-frequency regime, the balance has shown a sensitivity of about , which is among the best in the world, and it is very promising toward the final Archimedes measurement. In the high-frequency region, above a few Hz, relying on the behavior of the balance as a rotational sensor, the ground tilt has …

We report results of a search for an isotropic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using data from Advanced LIGO’s and Advanced Virgo’s third observing run (O3) combined with upper limits from the earlier O1 and O2 runs. Unlike in previous observing runs in the advanced detector era, we include Virgo in the search for the GWB. The results of the search are consistent with uncorrelated noise, and therefore we place upper limits on the strength of the GWB. We find that the dimensionless energy density Ω GW≤ 5.8× 10− 9 at the 95% credible level for a flat (frequency-independent) GWB, using a prior which is uniform in the log of the strength of the GWB, with 99% of the sensitivity coming from the band 20–76.6 Hz; Ω GW (f)≤ 3.4× 10− 9 at 25 Hz for a power-law GWB with a spectral index of 2/3 (consistent with expectations for compact binary coalescences), in the band 20–90.6 Hz; and Ω GW (f)≤ 3.9× 10− 10 at …

Lensing observations are widespread in electromagnetic astrophysics and have been used to, among other purposes, make a compelling case for dark matter (Clowe et al. 2004; Markevitch et al. 2004), discover exoplanets (Bond et al. 2004), and uncover massive objects and structures that are too faint to be detected directly (Coe et al. 2013).Similarly to light, when gravitational waves (GWs) travel near a galaxy or a galaxy cluster, their trajectories curve, resulting in gravitational lensing (Ohanian 1974; Thorne 1982; Deguchi & Watson 1986; Wang et al. 1996; Nakamura 1998; Takahashi & Nakamura 2003). For massive lenses, this changes the GW amplitude without affecting the frequency evolution (Wang et al. 1996; Dai & Venumadhav 2017; Ezquiaga et al …

The ever-increasing number of detections of gravitational waves from compact binaries by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors allows us to perform ever-more sensitive tests of general relativity (GR) in the dynamical and strong-field regime of gravity. We perform a suite of tests of GR using the compact binary signals observed during the second half of the third observing run of those detectors. We restrict our analysis to the 15 confident signals that have false alarm rates≤ 10− 3 yr− 1. In addition to signals consistent with binary black hole mergers, the new events include GW200115 042309, a signal consistent with a neutron star–black hole merger. We find the residual power, after subtracting the best fit waveform from the data for each event, to be consistent with the detector noise. Additionally, we find all the post-Newtonian deformation coefficients to be consistent with the predictions from GR, with an improvement by a factor of∼ 2 in the− 1PN parameter. We also find that the spin-induced quadrupole moments of the binary black hole constituents are consistent with those of Kerr black holes in GR. We find no evidence for dispersion of gravitational waves, non-GR modes of polarization, or post-merger echoes in the events that were analyzed. We update the bound on the mass of the graviton, at 90% credibility, to mg≤ 1.27× 10− 23eV/c2. The final mass and final spin as inferred from the pre-merger and post-merger parts of the waveform are consistent with each other. The studies of the properties of the remnant black holes, including deviations of the quasi-normal mode frequencies and damping times, show consistency with the …

Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in grand unified theory scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. The main mechanism for a network of Nambu-Goto cosmic strings to lose energy is through the production of loops and the subsequent emission of gravitational waves, thus offering an experimental signature for the existence of cosmic strings. Here we report on the analysis conducted to specifically search for gravitational-wave bursts from cosmic string loops in the data of Advanced LIGO 2015-2016 observing run (O1). No evidence of such signals was found in the data, and as a result we set upper limits on the cosmic string parameters for three recent loop distribution models. In this paper, we initially derive constraints on the string tension G μ and the intercommutation probability, using not only the burst analysis performed …

PSR J0537–6910 is a young (1–5 kyr) energetic X-ray pulsar, rotating at a spin frequency ν= 62 Hz (Marshall et al. 1998), in the Large Magellanic Cloud at a distance of 49.6 kpc (Pietrzyński et al. 2019). PSR J0537–6910 (hereafter J0537) has been the subject of a number of studies, starting from its first detection with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE; Bradt et al. 1993) up to recent observations starting in 2017 with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER; Gendreau et al. 2012). J0537 is intriguing for several reasons. Not only is it the fastest spinning young pulsar known, but measurements of its spin evolution also reveal J0537 to be the most prolific glitcher known. The pulsar exhibits large glitches, ie, sudden increases in spin frequency Δν of approximate size Δν/ν≈ 10− 7, roughly every 100 days (Marshall et al. 2004; Middleditch et al. 2006; Antonopoulou et al. 2018; Ferdman et al. 2018; Ho …

Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are monitoring the sky and collecting gravitational-wave strain data with sufficient sensitivity to detect signals routinely. In this paper we describe the data recorded by these instruments during their first and second observing runs. The main data products are gravitational-wave strain time series sampled at 16384 Hz. The datasets that include this strain measurement can be freely accessed through the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center at http://gw-openscience.org, together with data-quality information essential for the analysis of LIGO and Virgo data, documentation, tutorials, and supporting software.
