A new approach to template banks of gravitational waves with higher harmonics: reducing matched-filtering cost by over an order of magnitude
The templates used in current searches in the LIGO-Virgo-Kagra (LVK) data model the dominant quadrupole mode $(\ell, m)=(2, 2)$ of the signals, and omit sub-dominant higher-order modes (HM) such as $(\ell, m)=(3, 3)$, $(4, 4)$, which are predicted by general relativity.
Fewer Mocks and Less Noise: Reducing the Dimensionality of Cosmological Observables with Subspace Projections
The procedure is validated with full-shape analyses of power spectra from BOSS DR12 mock catalogs, showing that the 96-bin power spectra can be replaced by 12 subspace coefficients without biasing the output cosmology; this allows for accurate parameter inference using only $\sim 100$ mocks.

New Binary Black Hole Mergers in the Second Observing Run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The most secure new event, GW170121 ($p_{\rm astro} > 0. 99$), is also notable due to its inferred negative value of $\chi_{\rm eff}$, which is inconsistent with being positive at the $\approx 95. 8\%$ confidence level.

Modeling Biased Tracers at the Field Level
In contrast, for linear bias the mean-square model error can be higher than the Poisson prediction by factors of up to a few on large scales, and it becomes scale dependent already in the linear regime.

Constraints on Binary Black Hole Populations from LIGO-Virgo Detections
The three lightest binary black hole events are consistent with having a maximally spinning secondary but only for small mass ratios ($q\lesssim 0. 4$) as a result of the spin-mass ratio degeneracy.

Heating of the intergalactic medium by the cosmic microwave background during cosmic dawn
We also find that the effect is more dramatic in non-standard scenarios that either enhance the radio background above the CMB or invoke new physics to cool the gas in order to explain the EDGES results.

Iterative initial condition reconstruction
In our idealized dark matter simulations, the method improves the BAO signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of 2. 7 at $z=0$ and by a factor of 2. 5 at $z=0. 6$, improving standard BAO reconstruction by $70\%$ at $z=0$ and $30\%$ at $z=0. 6$, and matching the optimal BAO signal and signal-to-noise ratio of the linear density in the same volume.

Separating the Early Universe from the Late Universe: cosmological parameter estimation beyond the black box
We present a method for measuring the cosmic matter budget without assumptions about speculative Early Universe physics, and for measuring the primordial power spectrum P*(k) non-parametrically, either by combining CMB and LSS information or by using CMB polarization.
