abstract
We present the fourth Open Gravitational-wave Catalog (4-OGC) of binary neutron star (BNS), binary black hole (BBH) and neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers. The catalog includes observations from 2015-2020 covering the first through third observing runs (O1, O2, O3a, O3b) of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. The updated catalog includes 7 BBH mergers which were not previously reported with high significance during O3b for a total of 94 observations: 90 BBHs, 2 NSBHs, and 2 BNSs. The most confident new detection, GW200318_191337, has component masses $49.1^{+16.4}_{-12.0}\textrm{M}_\odot$ and $31.6^{+12.0}_{-11.6}\textrm{M}_\odot$; its redshift of $0.84^{+0.4}_{-0.35}$ ($90\%$ credible interval) may make it the most distant merger so far. We estimate the merger rate of BBH sources, assuming a powerlaw mass distribution containing an additive Gaussian peak, to be $16.5_{-6.2}^{+10.4} (25.0_{-8.0}^{+12.6})$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$ at a redshift of $z=0$ ($0.2$). For BNS and NSBH sources, we estimate a merger rate of $200^{+309}_{-148}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$ and $19^{+30}_{-14}$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$, respectively, assuming the known sources are representative of the total population. We provide reference parameter estimates for each of these sources using an up-to-date model accounting for instrumental calibration uncertainty. The corresponding data release also includes our full set of sub-threshold candidates.
