All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369

Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…

The BayesWave analysis pipeline in the era of gravitational wave observations

Neil J. Cornish, Tyson B. Littenberg, Bence Bécsy +4

We describe updates and improvements to the BayesWave gravitational wave transient analysis pipeline, and provide examples of how the algorithm is used to analyze data from ground-…

Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1344

Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the co…

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run

R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott, S. Abraham +1349

We report on gravitational wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between…

GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1253

On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio…

Interpreting gravitational-wave burst detections: constraining source properties without astrophysical models

Bence Bécsy, Peter Raffai, Kiranjyot Gill +3

We show that for detections of gravitational-wave transients, constraints can be given on physical parameters of the source without using any specific astrophysical models. Relying…

Global Analysis of the Gravitational Wave Signal from Galactic Binaries

Tyson Littenberg, Neil Cornish, Kristen Lackeos +1

Galactic ultra compact binaries are expected to be the dominant source of gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency band. Of the tens of millions of galactic binaries with p…

Reconstructing gravitational wave signals from binary black hole mergers with minimal assumptions

Sudarshan Ghonge, Katerina Chatziioannou, James A. Clark +4

We present a systematic comparison of the binary black hole (BBH) signal waveform reconstructed by two independent and complementary approaches used in LIGO and Virgo source infere…

Search for Advanced LIGO Single Interferometer Compact Binary Coalescence Signals in Coincidence with Gamma-Ray Events in Fermi-GBM

C. Stachie, T. Dal Canton, E. Burns +11

Presented is the description of a new and general method used to search for -ray counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) triggers. This method is specifically applied to single…
