Description
In this talk, I will present on behalf of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaborations the results from version 5.0 of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-5.0). The updated catalog contains results from the network of observatories up to the second part of the fourth observing run (O4b). We find 161 new compact binary coalescence candidates with masses consistent with signals from the merger of binary black holes, bringing the total number of gravitational-wave candidates up to 390. We present updated population properties, tests of general relativity, and constraints on the cosmic expansion rate.
