"Teasing out the black holes formed from collapsing stars from those formed from previous mergers will tell us about how stars live their lives, and where they live their lives across the universe," Berry continued.
Not only could this research paint a more complete picture of the life and death of stars that are at least eight times as massive as the sun, but it could also help better understand the speed at which the universe is expanding.
"The universe is expanding, and the speed at which it is doing so is known as the Hubble Constant. A unique feature of black hole mergers is that we can tell how far away they were directly from our observation," said team member and IGR researcher Rachel Gray.
"This means that each merger we detect gives some information about the universe's expansion rate.
"By combining this information from many mergers, we can improve our measurement of the Hubble Constant, helping to answer one of the big unanswered questions of modern astronomy: exactly how fast is the universe expanding?"
The new data set contains a gravitational signal called GW230814, which is the loudest detected by these instruments to date. Detections like these are also the perfect way to test Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, general relativity, in which gravitational waves were first postulated.
"The louder the signal, the more precise our measurements of any potential deviations," IGR scientist and team member John Veitch said. "So far, Einstein has passed every test, but we will keep looking closer!
For these types of analysis, it is very important to have observations from multiple gravitational-wave detectors, so you can cross-reference the signal in both."
All this has been made possible by upgrades to LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA performed from 2020 onward that have boosted the sensitivity of these gravitational wave detectors, based in the U.S., Italy and Japan, respectively.
"During the fourth observing run, the detectors have routinely been able to make measurements more than 25% more sensitive than in the previous observing run," IGR researcher Andrew Spencer said. "This allows us to observe a much larger fraction of the universe."
One thing that is absent here are the flashes of light that should have accompanied the two observed mixed mergers between black holes and neutron stars, represented by the gravitational wave signals GW230529 and GW230518.
"This time around, we didn't see anything except for gravitational waves from these mergers, but exciting new telescopes such as the Vera Rubin Telescope mean that making coincident detections of gravitational waves and light is becoming much more likely," Williams concluded.
