Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Fifteen Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from sixteen well localized candidate neutron stars assuming none of the stars has a binary companion. The searches…

Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

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

We present results on the mass, spin, and redshift distributions with phenomenological population models using the ten binary black hole mergers detected in the first and second ob…

A Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Search for Electromagnetic Signals Coincident with Gravitational-Wave Candidates in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run

ray Burst Monitor Team, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +1160

We present a search for prompt gamma-ray counterparts to compact binary coalescence gravitational wave (GW) candidates from Advanced LIGO's first observing run (O1). As demonstrate…

Constraining the p-mode--g-mode tidal instability with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1136

We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling -modes and -modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This non-resonant instability transfers energy from the orb…

Viscous-Dynamical Ejecta from Binary Neutron Star Merger

David Radice, Albino Perego, Kenta Hotokezaka +3

General-relativistic simulations of binary neutron star mergers with viscosity reveal a new outflow mechanism operating in unequal mass binaries on dynamical timescales and enabled…

Binary Neutron Star Mergers: Mass Ejection, Electromagnetic Counterparts and Nucleosynthesis

David Radice, Albino Perego, Kenta Hotokezaka +3

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the mass ejection and the associated electromagnetic transients and nucleosynthesis from binary neutron star (NS) mergers. We…

Unveiling the enigma of ATLAS17aeu

A. Melandri, A. Rossi, S. Benetti +42

Aim. The unusual transient ATLAS17aeu was serendipitously detected within the sky localisation of the gravitational wave trigger GW170104. The importance of a possible association…

The Impact of Different Neutrino Transport Methods on Multidimensional Core-collapse Supernova Simulations

Kuo-Chuan Pan, Carlos Mattes, Evan P. O'Connor +3

Neutrinos play a crucial role in the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosion mechanism. The requirement of accurately calculating the transport of neutrinos makes simulations of t…

Long-lived Remnants from Binary Neutron Star Mergers

David Radice, Albino Perego, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +1

Massive neutron star (NS) with lifetimes of at least several seconds are expected to be the result of a sizable fraction of NS mergers. We study their formation using a large set o…

-process nucleosynthesis in the early Universe through fast mergers of compact binaries in triple systems

Matteo Bonetti, Albino Perego, Pedro R. Capelo +2

Surface abundance observations of halo stars hint at the occurrence of -process nucleosynthesis at low metallicity (), possibly within the first yr after…
