Deep Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in LIGO O3 public data

B. Steltner, M. A. Papa, H. -B. Eggenstein +4

We present the results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in the public LIGO O3 data. The search covers signal frequencies Hz Hz and a s…

Constraining the p-mode--g-mode tidal instability with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1136

We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling -modes and -modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This non-resonant instability transfers energy from the orb…

Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's first observing run

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1135

We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between 0.2 - 1.0 using data taken between Se…

Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in LIGO O2 public data

B. Steltner, M. A. Papa, H. -B. Eggenstein +7

We conduct an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in the LIGO O2 data from the Hanford and Livingston detectors. We search for nearly-monochromatic signals with frequ…

Tests of General Relativity with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145

The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…

Properties of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148

On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the…

GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149

On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…

Observational constraints on the spin/anisotropy of the CCOs of Cassiopeia A, Vela Jr. and G347.3-0.5 and a single surviving continuous gravitational wave candidate

Jing Ming, Maria Alessandra Papa, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein +7

We carry out the deepest and broadest search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from three neutron stars at the center of the supernova remnants Cassiopeia A, Vela Jr., and…

A Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Search for Electromagnetic Signals Coincident with Gravitational-Wave Candidates in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run

ray Burst Monitor Team, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +1160

We present a search for prompt gamma-ray counterparts to compact binary coalescence gravitational wave (GW) candidates from Advanced LIGO's first observing run (O1). As demonstrate…

Discovery of a Gamma-ray Black Widow Pulsar by GPU-accelerated Einstein@Home

L. Nieder, C. J. Clark, D. Kandel +39

We report the discovery of 1.97 ms period gamma-ray pulsations from the 75 minute orbital-period binary pulsar now named PSR J1653-0158. The associated Fermi Large Area Telescope g…

Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138

One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…

Detection and timing of gamma-ray pulsations from the Hz pulsar J09520607

L. Nieder, C. J. Clark, C. G. Bassa +17

The Low-Frequency Array radio telescope discovered the Hz binary millisecond pulsar (MSP) J09520607 in a targeted radio pulsation search of an unidentified $\textit{Fermi}…
