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…

Deep Learning with Quantized Neural Networks for Gravitational Wave Forecasting of Eccentric Compact Binary Coalescence

Wei Wei, E. A. Huerta, Mengshen Yun +5

We present the first application of deep learning forecasting for binary neutron stars, neutron star - black hole systems, and binary black hole mergers that span an eccentricity r…

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…

Search for the stochastic gravitational-wave background induced by primordial curvature perturbations in LIGO's second observing run

Shasvath J. Kapadia, Kanhaiya Lal Pandey, Teruaki Suyama +2

Primordial density perturbations in the radiation-dominated era of the early Universe are expected to generate stochastic gravitational waves (GWs) due to nonlinear mode coupling.…

Testing the nature of gravitational-wave polarizations using strongly lensed signals

Srashti Goyal, K. Haris, Ajit Kumar Mehta +1

Gravitational-wave (GW) observations by a network of ground-based laser interferometric detectors allow us to probe the nature of GW polarizations. This would be an interesting tes…

Observation of eccentric binary black hole mergers with second and third generation gravitational wave detector networks

Zhuo Chen, E. A. Huerta, Joseph Adamo +4

[Abridged] We introduce an improved version of the Eccentric, Non-spinning, Inspiral-Gaussian-process Merger Approximant (ENIGMA) waveform model. We find that this ready-to-use mod…

Nature does not play dice at the Planck scale

Tejinder P. Singh

We start from classical general relativity coupled to matter fields. Each configuration variable and its conjugate momentum, as also space-time points, are raised to the status of…

Constraints on the time variation of the gravitational constant using gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron stars

Aditya Vijaykumar, Shasvath J. Kapadia, Parameswaran Ajith

We propose a method to constrain the variation of the gravitational constant with cosmic time using gravitational-wave (GW) observations of merging binary neutron stars. The me…

Pulsar timing array signals induced by black hole binaries in relativistic eccentric orbits

Abhimanyu Susobhanan, Achamveedu Gopakumar, George Hobbs +1

Individual supermassive black hole binaries in non-circular orbits are possible nanohertz gravitational wave sources for the rapidly maturing Pulsar Timing Array experiments. We de…
