Searches for gravitational-wave bursts have often focused on the loudest event(s) in searching for detections and in determining upper limits on astrophysical populations. Typical upper limits have been reported on event rates and event amplitudes which can then be translated into constraints on astrophysical populations. We describe the mathematical construction of such upper limits.

  1. On Bimodality in the Eccentricity Distribution of Galactic Double Neutron Stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A broken neutron-star remnant mass relation plus weak ultra-stripped supernova kicks can reproduce the apparent eccentricity gap in Galactic double neutron stars.

  2. All-sky search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing run

    gr-qc 2025-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    No long-duration gravitational-wave transients were found in O4a data; 50% efficiency amplitude limits improved by about 30% over O3, and eccentric CBC rate limits improved by factors of 2-7.

  3. Search for dynamical black hole captures with Gaussian mixture modelling

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Gaussian mixture model enhanced search in LVK O3 data improves sensitivity to dynamical black hole captures and sets a 90% upper limit of 0.15 Gpc^-3 yr^-1, with no new detections.
