abstract
Following a major upgrade, the two advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) held their first observation run between September 2015 and January 2016. With a strain sensitivity of $10^{-23}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ at 100 Hz, the product of observable volume and measurement time exceeded that of all previous runs within the first 16 days of coincident observation. On September 14th, 2015 the Advanced LIGO detectors observed a transient gravitational-wave signal determined to be the coalescence of two black holes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 061102 (2016)], launching the era of gravitational-wave astronomy. The event, GW150914, was observed with a combined signal-to-noise ratio of 24 in coincidence by the two detectors. Here we present the main features of the detectors that enabled this observation. At full sensitivity, the Advanced LIGO detectors are designed to deliver another factor of three improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio for binary black hole systems similar in masses to GW150914.

Periodic orbits in charged LQG black holes produce zoom-whirl gravitational waveforms detectable by future space-based observatories, with features depending on the fixed polymerization parameter.
In scalar-vector-tensor gravity, the vector-curvature coupling alters neutron star mass-radius curves and radial oscillation frequencies while preserving the coincidence of maximum mass with the onset of radial instability.
Spin prior choices propagate into tests of GR via the 1.5PN deviation parameter δφ̂3 in a non-trivial, event-dependent way, with stronger effects for short-inspiral events and partial degeneracy with χ_eff when the deviation is included.
Quintessence parameter cq systematically shifts zoom-whirl periodic orbits and their numerical-kludge EMRI waveforms around a magnetically charged nonlinear-electrodynamics black hole into the LISA millihertz band.
In a post-inflationary magnetogenesis scenario with time-dependent gauge couplings, magnetic anisotropic stress dominates peak GW amplitude while scalar-induced terms matter on larger scales, both showing f^3 infrared scaling for blue spectra and potentially reaching PTA frequencies.
Using HBI on GWTC-4 data the authors compute lensed SGWBs for ABHs and PBHs and conclude that LIGO and ET can distinguish the two formation channels in specific frequency ranges, with ET offering broader coverage.
Periodic orbits around a non-rotating Destounis-Suvorov-Kokkotas black hole are taxonomized with integer triplets and their gravitational waveforms are calculated, showing that large deformations eliminate circular orbits and modify wave signals.
EFTGR black-hole periodic orbits follow the (z,w,v) taxonomy and emit zoom-whirl waveforms whose phase, not amplitude, is sensitive to the EFTGR coupling ϵ1.
The quantum parameter ξ in an asymptotically safe regular black hole shifts the innermost stable orbit, enhances whirl behavior in periodic geodesics, and produces amplitude-modulated millihertz gravitational-wave strains whose peak amplitude grows with ξ, placing them inside the sensitivity bands预计
GWTC-4 inspirals yield tighter constraints on Johannsen parameters α13 and ε3, both consistent with zero and thus with the Kerr geometry.
No evidence for physics beyond general relativity is found in the analysis of 15 GW events from GWTC-3, with consistency in residuals, PN parameters, and remnant properties.
