An Optically Targeted Search for Gravitational Waves emitted by Core-Collapse Supernovae during the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1195

We present the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernovae observed within a source distance of approximately 20 Mpc during the…

All-sky Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Isolated Neutron Stars in the Data from the First Part of the Fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1826

We present results from an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves, using three different methods applied to the first eight months of LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virg…

Open Data from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA through the First Part of the Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1768

LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA form a network of gravitational-wave observatories. Data and analysis results from this network are made publicly available through the Gravitational Wave Op…

GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 M Black Hole with a 2.6 M Compact Object

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254

We report the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 22.2 - 24.3 black hole and a compact object with a mass of 2.50 - 2.67 (all measuremen…

Search for Eccentric Black Hole Coalescences during the Third Observing Run of LIGO and Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1772

Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Or…

A search using GEO600 for gravitational waves coincident with fast radio bursts from SGR 1935+2154

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1780

The magnetar SGR 1935+2154 is the only known Galactic source of fast radio bursts (FRBs). FRBs from SGR 1935+2154 were first detected by CHIME/FRB and STARE2 in 2020 April, after t…
