Title: LIGO/Virgo Black Holes from a First Order Quark Confinement Phase Transition

Abstract

We propose that ($O 10 M$_⊙) black holes observed by LIGO/Virgo originate from a first order phase transition at a temperature $$T_* ≲ 100 $$$\textbf{MeV}$$, associated with $$\textbf{QCD'}$$ - an early Universe deformation of the Standard Model $$\textbf{QCD}$$. This is realized by keeping the quark masses small compared to confinement scale down to $T$$\thicksim$$$ T_*$$, making $$\textbf{QCD'}$$ transition first order. We implement this scenario using a light scalar that could potentially be a good dark matter candidate.

First Measurement of the Hubble Constant from a Dark Standard Siren using the Dark Energy Survey Galaxies and the LIGO/Virgo Binary–Black-hole Merger GW170814

Journal Article Soares-Santos, M. ; Palmese, A. ; Hartley, W. ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal. Letters (Online)

We present a multi-messenger measurement of the Hubble constant H₀ using the binary-black-hole merger GW170814 as a standard siren, combined with a photometric redshift catalog from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The luminosity distance is obtained from the gravitational wave signal detected by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) on 2017 August 14, and the redshift information is provided by the DES Year 3 data. Black-hole mergers such as GW170814 are expected to lack bright electromagnetic emission to uniquely identify their host galaxies and build an object-by-object Hubble diagram. However, they are suitable for a statistical measurement, provided that a galaxy catalog of adequate depth and redshift completion is available. Here we present the first Hubble parameter measurement using a black-hole merger. Our analysis results inmore »« less

Implications for First-Order Cosmological Phase Transitions from the Third LIGO-Virgo Observing Run

Journal Article Romero, Alba ; Martinovic, Katarina ; Callister, Thomas A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We place constraints on the normalized energy density in gravitational waves from first-order strong phase transitions using data from Advanced LIGO and Virgo’s first, second, and third observing runs. First, adopting a broken power law model, we place 95% confidence level upper limits simultaneously on the gravitational-wave energy density at 25 Hz from unresolved compact binary mergers, Ω_CBC < 6.1 × 10^–9, and strong first-order phase transitions, Ω_BPL < 4.4 × 10^–9. The inclusion of the former is necessary since we expect this astrophysical signal to be the foreground of any detected spectrum. We then consider two more complex phenomenologicalmore »« less

An ASKAP Search for a Radio Counterpart to the First High-significance Neutron Star–Black Hole Merger LIGO/Virgo S190814bv

Journal Article Dobie, Dougal ; Stewart, Adam ; Murphy, Tara ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal. Letters (Online)

We present results from a search for a radio transient associated with the LIGO/Virgo source S190814bv, a likely neutron star–black hole (NSBH) merger, with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder. We imaged a 30 deg² field at ΔT = 2, 9, and 33 days post-merger at a frequency of 944 MHz, comparing them to reference images from the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey observed 110 days prior to the event. Each epoch of our observations covers 89% of the LIGO/Virgo localization region. We conducted an untargeted search for radio transients in this field, resulting in 21 candidates. For one of these,more »« less

Search for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network

Journal Article Abbott, B. P. ; Abbott, R. ; Abbott, T. D. ; ... - Physical Review D

Gravitational-wave astronomy has been firmly established with the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of ten stellar-mass binary black holes and a neutron star binary. This paper reports on the all-sky search for gravitational waves from intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network. The search uses three independent algorithms: two based on matched filtering of the data with waveform templates of gravitational-wave signals from compact binaries, and a third, model-independent algorithm that employs no signal model for the incoming signal. No intermediate mass black hole binary event is detected in this search. Consequently, we place upper limits on the merger rate density for a family of intermediate mass black hole binaries. In particular, we choose sources with total massesmore »« less

Search for Eccentric Binary Black Hole Mergers with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during Their First and Second Observing Runs

Journal Article Abbott, B. P. ; Abbott, R. ; Abbott, T. D. ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal (Online)

When formed through dynamical interactions, stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) may retain eccentric orbits (e > 0.1 at 10 Hz) detectable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. Eccentricity can therefore be used to differentiate dynamically formed binaries from isolated BBH mergers. Current template-based gravitational-wave searches do not use waveform models associated with eccentric orbits, rendering the search less efficient for eccentric binary systems. Here we present the results of a search for BBH mergers that inspiral in eccentric orbits using data from the first and second observing runs (O1 and O2) of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We carried out the searchmore »« less
