A new data analysis framework for the search of continuous gravitational wave signals

O. J. Piccinni, S. Frasca, P. Astone +7

Continuous gravitational wave signals, like those expected by asymmetric spinning neutron stars, are among the most promising targets for LIGO and Virgo detectors. The development…

Tests of General Relativity with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145

The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…

Effective field description of the Anton-Schmidt cosmic fluid

Salvatore Capozziello, Rocco D'Agostino, Roberto Giambò +1

The effective theory of the Anton-Schmidt cosmic fluid within the Debye approximation is investigated. In this picture, the universe is modeled out by means of a medium without cos…

Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138

One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…

A semi-coherent analysis method to search for continuous gravitational waves emitted by ultra-light boson clouds around spinning black holes

S. D'Antonio, C. Palomba, S. Frasca +8

As a consequence of superradiant instability induced in Kerr black holes, ultra-light boson clouds can be a source of persistent gravitational waves, potentially detectable by curr…

Phase decomposition of the template metric for continuous gravitational-wave searches

S. Mastrogiovanni, P. Astone, S. D Antonio +9

A type of gravitational-wave signals in the LIGO-Virgo sensitivity band are expected to be emitted by spinning asymmetric neutron stars, with rotational frequencies that could plau…

Growth of matter perturbations in non-minimal teleparallel dark energy

Rocco D'Agostino, Orlando Luongo

We study the growth rate of matter perturbations in the context of teleparallel dark energy in a flat universe. We investigate the dynamics of different theoretical scenarios based…

Calibration of Advanced Virgo and Reconstruction of the Gravitational Wave Signal h(t) during the Observing Run O2

Virgo Collaboration, F. Acernese, T. Adams +281

In August 2017, Advanced Virgo joined Advanced LIGO for the end of the O2 run, leading to the first gravitational waves detections with the three-detector network. This paper descr…

Kinematic model-independent reconstruction of Palatini cosmology

Salvatore Capozziello, Rocco D'Agostino, Orlando Luongo

A kinematic treatment to trace out the form of cosmology, within the Palatini formalism, is discussed by only postulating the universe homogeneity and isotropy. To figure th…

GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149

On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…

Properties of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148

On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the…
