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

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1191

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…
