Diving below the spin-down limit: Constraints on gravitational waves from the energetic young pulsar PSR J0537-6910

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1589

We present a search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the young, energetic X-ray pulsar PSR J0537-6910 using data from the second and third observing runs of LIGO and…

Comparing inclination dependent analyses of kilonova transients

J. Heinzel, M. W. Coughlin, T. Dietrich +7

The detection of AT2017gfo proved that binary neutron star mergers are progenitors of kilonovae. Using a combination of numerical-relativity and radiative-transfer simulations, the…

Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift During the LIGO-Virgo Run O3a

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1250

We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced…

Measuring the Hubble Constant with a sample of kilonovae

Michael W. Coughlin, Sarah Antier, Tim Dietrich +7

Kilonovae produced by the coalescence of compact binaries with at least one neutron star are promising standard sirens for an independent measurement of the Hubble constant ()…

Gravitational-wave constraints on the equatorial ellipticity of millisecond pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1333

We present a search for continuous gravitational waves from five radio pulsars, comprising three recycled pulsars (PSR J0437-4715, PSR J0711-6830, and PSR J0737-3039A) and two youn…

On the nature of GW190814 and its impact on the understanding of supranuclear matter

Ingo Tews, Peter T. H. Pang, Tim Dietrich +5

The observation of a compact object with a mass of on August 14, 2019, by the LIGO Scientific and Virgo collaborations (LVC) has the potential to improve our u…

GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 M Black Hole with a 2.6 M Compact Object

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254

We report the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 22.2 - 24.3 black hole and a compact object with a mass of 2.50 - 2.67 (all measuremen…

GW190412: Observation of a Binary-Black-Hole Coalescence with Asymmetric Masses

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254

We report the observation of gravitational waves from a binary-black-hole coalescence during the first two weeks of LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run. The signal was recorded…

A Joint Fermi-GBM and LIGO/Virgo Analysis of Compact Binary Mergers From the First and Second Gravitational-wave Observing Runs

ray Burst Monitor Team, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +1262

We present results from offline searches of Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) data for gamma-ray transients coincident with the compact binary coalescences observed by the gravit…

GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1199

On 2019 April 25, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9. The Virgo detector was also taking data that did not contribut…
