All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369

Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…

Inference of proto-neutron star properties from gravitational-wave data in core-collapse supernovae

Marie-Anne Bizouard, Patricio Maturana-Russel, Alejandro Torres-Forné +5

The eventual detection of gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) will help improve our current understanding of the explosion mechanism of massive stars. The stoc…

Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1344

Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the co…

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run

R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott, S. Abraham +1349

We report on gravitational wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between…

GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1253

On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio…

Measuring the Speed of Gravitational Waves from the First and Second Observing Run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

Xiaoshu Liu, Vincent F. He, Timothy M. Mikulski +4

The speed of gravitational waves for a single observation can be measured by the time delay among gravitational-wave detectors with Bayesian inference. Then multiple measurements c…

Search for Advanced LIGO Single Interferometer Compact Binary Coalescence Signals in Coincidence with Gamma-Ray Events in Fermi-GBM

C. Stachie, T. Dal Canton, E. Burns +11

Presented is the description of a new and general method used to search for -ray counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) triggers. This method is specifically applied to single…
