Parameterized tests of the strong-field dynamics of general relativity using gravitational wave signals from coalescing binary black holes: Fast likelihood calculations and sensitivity of the method
Jeroen Meidam, Ka Wa Tsang, Janna Goldstein +15
Thanks to the recent discoveries of gravitational wave signals from binary black hole mergers by Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory and Advanced Virgo, th…
Decoherence of Gravitational Wave Oscillations in Bigravity
Kevin Max, Moritz Platscher, Juri Smirnov
Following up on our recent study, we consider the regime of graviton masses and gravitational wave propagation distances at which decoherence of the wave packets plays a major role…
Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042
Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…
All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…
GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW1…
GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1107
On August 14, 2017 at 10:30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coales…
GW170817: Implications for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Compact Binary Coalescences
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099
The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron…
First narrow-band search for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars in advanced detector data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1096
Spinning neutron stars asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis are potential sources of continuous gravitational waves for ground-based interferometric detectors. In the cas…
Effects of Data Quality Vetoes on a Search for Compact Binary Coalescences in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +957
The first observing run of Advanced LIGO spanned 4 months, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, during which gravitational waves were directly detected from two binary blac…
Relevance of the weak equivalence principle and experiments to test it: lessons from the past and improvements expected in space
Anna M. Nobili, Alberto Anselmi
Tests of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) probe the foundations of physics. Ever since Galileo in the early 1600s, WEP tests have attracted some of the best experimentalists of…
First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050
We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 20-475 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0, +0.1]e-8 Hz/s. Such a si…

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1039
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run. This search investigates…
GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1048
We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 a…
