Abstract The standard Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model provides a good
description of a wide range of astrophysical and cosmological data. However, there are a …

A number of challenges to the standard Λ CDM model have been emerging during the past
few years as the accuracy of cosmological observations improves. In this review we discuss …

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 …

Abstract The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European project for a third-generation
gravitational-wave detector, has a reference configuration based on a triangular shape …

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 …

The global network of gravitational-wave observatories now includes five detectors, namely
LIGO Hanford, LIGO Livingston, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO 600. These detectors collected …

We obtain the total impulse in the scattering of nonspinning binaries in general relativity at
fourth post-Minkowskian order, ie, O (G 4), including linear, nonlinear, and hereditary …

We review numerous arguments for primordial black holes (PBHs) based on observational
evidence from a variety of lensing, dynamical, accretion and gravitational-wave effects. This …

Abstract This Primer examines Skilling's nested sampling algorithm for Bayesian inference
and, more broadly, multidimensional integration. The principles of nested sampling are …
