MIR: a general-relativistic resistive-magneto-hydrodynamic code to study the effect of resistivity in Neutron Star dynamics
Franceschetti Kevin, De Pietri Roberto
Electrical resistivity plays a fundamental role in many astrophysical systems, influencing the evolution of the magnetic field and energy dissipation processes. During the coalesce…
Power-law Inflation Satisfies Penrose's Weyl Curvature Hypothesis
Guido D'Amico, Nemanja Kaloper
Based on entropy considerations and the arrow of time Penrose argued that the universe must have started in a special initial singularity with vanishing Weyl curvature. This is oft…
On Black Hole Echoes
Guido D'Amico, Nemanja Kaloper
We consider a very simple model for gravitational wave echoes from black hole merger ringdowns which may arise from local Lorentz symmetry violations that modify graviton dispersio…
Numerical-relativity simulations of long-lived remnants of binary neutron star mergers
Roberto De Pietri, Alessandra Feo, José A. Font +3
We analyze the properties of the gravitational wave signal emitted after the merger of a binary neutron star system when the remnant survives for more than a 80 ms (and up to 140ms…
Model comparison from LIGO-Virgo data on GW170817's binary components and consequences for the merger remnant

GW170817 is the very first observation of gravitational waves originating from the coalescence of two compact objects in the mass range of neutron stars, accompanied by electromagn…
Search for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1196
Gravitational wave astronomy has been firmly established with the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of ten stellar mass binary black holes and a neutron star binary.…
All-sky search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the second Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1183
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the Advanced LIGO second observation run; we search for gravitational-wave trans…
Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using data from Advanced LIGO's first two observing runs
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1132
We perform an unmodeled search for persistent, directional gravitational wave (GW) sources using data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO. We do not find evid…
Search for the isotropic stochastic background using data from Advanced LIGO's second observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1133
The stochastic gravitational-wave background is a superposition of sources that are either too weak or too numerous to detect individually. In this study we present the results fro…
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…
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…
Relevance of tidal effects and post-merger dynamics for binary neutron star parameter estimation
Reetika Dudi, Francesco Pannarale, Tim Dietrich +4
Measurements of the properties of binary neutron star systems from gravitational-wave observations require accurate theoretical models for such signals. However, current models are…
Calibration of Advanced Virgo and Reconstruction of the Gravitational Wave Signal h(t) during the Observing Run O2

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…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
Time-domain effective-one-body gravitational waveforms for coalescing compact binaries with nonprecessing spins, tides and self-spin effects
