Host redshifts from gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron star mergers
Chris Messenger, Kentaro Takami, Sarah Gossan +2
Inspiralling compact binaries as standard sirens will soon become an invaluable tool for cosmology when advanced interferometric gravitational-wave detectors begin their observatio…
Modelling gravitational waves from precessing black-hole binaries: Progress, challenges and prospects
Mark Hannam
The inspiral and merger of two orbiting black holes is among the most promising sources for the first (hopefully imminent) direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs), and measur…
Black hole remnant of black hole-neutron star coalescing binaries with arbitrary black hole spin
Francesco Pannarale
A model for determining the dimensionless spin parameter and mass of the black hole remnant of black hole-neutron star mergers with arbitrary initial black hole spin angular moment…
Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…
Comparison of Gravitational Wave Detector Network Sky Localization Approximations
K. Grover, S. Fairhurst, B. F. Farr +4
Gravitational waves emitted during compact binary coalescences are a promising source for gravitational-wave detector networks. The accuracy with which the location of the source o…
Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…
A directed search for continuous Gravitational Waves from the Galactic Center
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +871
We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data fr…
A simple model of complete precessing black-hole-binary gravitational waveforms
Mark Hannam, Patricia Schmidt, Alejandro Bohé +5
The construction of a model of the gravitational-wave (GW) signal from generic configurations of spinning-black-hole binaries, through inspiral, merger and ringdown, is one of the…
Error-analysis and comparison to analytical models of numerical waveforms produced by the NRAR Collaboration
Ian Hinder, Alessandra Buonanno, Michael Boyle +53
The Numerical-Relativity-Analytical-Relativity (NRAR) collaboration is a joint effort between members of the numerical relativity, analytical relativity and gravitational-wave data…
Testing the validity of the single-spin approximation in inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms
Michael Pürrer, Mark Hannam, P. Ajith +1
Gravitational-wave signals from black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins are described by four parameters -- each black hole's mass and spin. It has been shown that the domina…
A small cosmological constant due to non-perturbative quantum effects
Jan Holland, Stefan Hollands
We propose that the expectation value of the stress energy tensor of the Standard Model should be given by $< T_{μν} > = ρ_\vac η_{μν}$, with a vacuum energy $ρ_\vac$ that differs…
The Transient Gravitational-Wave Sky
Nils Andersson, John Baker, Kris Belczynski +44
Interferometric detectors will very soon give us an unprecedented view of the gravitational-wave sky, and in particular of the explosive and transient Universe. Now is the time to…
Gravitational-Wave Detection using Multivariate Analysis
Thomas S. Adams, Duncan Meacher, James Clark +3
Searches for gravitational-wave bursts (transient signals, typically of unknown waveform) require identification of weak signals in background detector noise. The sensitivity of su…
Statistical and systematic errors for gravitational-wave inspiral signals: A principal component analysis
Frank Ohme, Alex B. Nielsen, Drew Keppel +1
Identifying the source parameters from a gravitational-wave measurement alone is limited by our ability to discriminate signals from different sources and the accuracy of the wavef…
Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801
Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…
Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1319
We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years,…
When can gravitational-wave observations distinguish between black holes and neutron stars?
Mark Hannam, Duncan A. Brown, Stephen Fairhurst +2
Gravitational-wave observations of compact binaries have the potential to uncover the distribution of masses and angular momenta of black holes and neutron stars in the universe. T…
