4-OGC: Catalog of Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Mergers

Abstract We present the fourth Open Gravitational-wave Catalog (4-OGC) of binary neutron star (BNS), binary black hole (BBH), and neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers. The catalog includes observations from 2015 to 2020 covering the first through third observing runs (O1, O2, O3a, and O3b) of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. The updated catalog includes seven BBH mergers that were not previously reported with high significance during O3b for a total of 94 observations: 90 BBHs, 2 NSBHs, and 2 BNSs. The most confident new detection, GW200318_191337, has component masses 49.1 − 12.0 + 16.4 M ⊙ and 31.6 − 11.6 + 12.0 M ⊙ ; its redshift of 0.84 − 0.35 + 0.4 (90%…
