Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts During the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run and Implications for the Origin of GRB 150906B
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, IPN Collaboration +1002
We present the results of the search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with -ray bursts detected during the first observing run of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravi…
Three-dimensional distribution of ejecta in Supernova 1987A at 10 000 days
J. Larsson, C. Fransson, J. Spyromilio +19
Due to its proximity, SN 1987A offers a unique opportunity to directly observe the geometry of a stellar explosion as it unfolds. Here we present spectral and imaging observations…
Polarized synchrotron emission in quiescent black hole X-ray transients
David M. Russell, Tariq Shahbaz, Fraser Lewis +1
We present near-infrared polarimetric observations of the black hole X-ray binaries Swift J1357.2-0933 and A0620-00. In both sources, recent studies have demonstrated the presence…
Upper limits on the rates of binary neutron star and neutron-star--black-hole mergers from Advanced LIGO's first observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +958
We report here the non-detection of gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron star systems and neutron-star--black-hole systems during the first observing run of Advanc…
Search for transient gravitational waves in coincidence with short duration radio transients during 2007-2013
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, others +999
We present an archival search for transient gravitational-wave bursts in coincidence with 27 single pulse triggers from Green Bank Telescope pulsar surveys, using the LIGO, Virgo a…
Supplement: The Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers Inferred from Advanced LIGO Observations Surrounding GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +964
Supplemental information for a Letter reporting the rate of binary black hole (BBH) coalescences inferred from 16 days of coincident Advanced LIGO observations surrounding the tran…
Supplement: Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1538
This Supplement provides supporting material for arXiv:1602.08492 . We briefly summarize past electromagnetic (EM) follow-up efforts as well as the organization and policy of the c…
Millimeter Transient Point Sources in the SPTpol 100 Square Degree Survey
N. Whitehorn, T. Natoli, P. A. R. Ade +55
The millimeter transient sky is largely unexplored, with measurements limited to follow-up of objects detected at other wavelengths. High-angular-resolution telescopes designed for…
Systematic errors in low latency gravitational wave parameter estimation impact electromagnetic follow-up observations
Tyson B. Littenberg, Ben Farr, Scott Coughlin +1
Among the most eagerly anticipated opportunities made possible by Advanced LIGO/Virgo are multimessenger observations of compact mergers. Optical counterparts may be short-lived so…
Astrophysical Implications of the Binary Black-Hole Merger GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The discovery of the gravitational-wave source GW150914 with the Advanced LIGO detectors provides the first observational evidence for the existence of binary black-hole systems th…
Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1538
A gravitational-wave (GW) transient was identified in data recorded by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors on 2015 September 14. The e…
A "high-hard" outburst of the black hole X-ray binary GS 1354-64
K. I. I. Koljonen, D. M. Russell, J. M. Corral-Santana +5
We study in detail the evolution of the 2015 outburst of GS 1354-64 (BW Cir) at optical, UV and X-ray wavelengths using Faulkes Telescope South/LCOGT, SMARTS and Swift. The outburs…
High-energy Neutrino follow-up search of Gravitational Wave Event GW150914 with ANTARES and IceCube
S. Adrián-Martínez, A. Albert, M. André +1387
We present the high-energy-neutrino follow-up observations of the first gravitational wave transient GW150914 observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors on Sept. 14th, 2015. We search…
The Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers Inferred from Advanced LIGO Observations Surrounding GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +964
A transient gravitational-wave signal, GW150914, was identified in the twin Advanced LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC. To assess the implications of this discov…
Events leading up to the June 2015 outburst of V404 Cyg
F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell, A. W. Shaw +5
On 2015 June 15 the burst alert telescope (BAT) on board {\em Swift} detected an X-ray outburst from the black hole transient V404 Cyg. We monitored V404 Cyg for the last 10 years…
