Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992
A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986
We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…
Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999
Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…
Iron K line of boson stars
Zheng Cao, Alejandro Cardenas-Avendano, Menglei Zhou +3
The present paper is a sequel to our previous work [Y. Ni et al., JCAP 1607, 049 (2016)] in which we studied the iron K line expected in the reflection spectrum of Kerr black ho…
Detection methods for stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds: a unified treatment
Joseph D. Romano, Neil J. Cornish
We review detection methods that are currently in use or have been proposed to search for a stochastic background of gravitational radiation. We consider both Bayesian and frequent…
Approximate Universal Relations among Tidal Parameters for Neutron Star Binaries
Kent Yagi, Nicolas Yunes
One of largest uncertainties in nuclear physics is the relation between the pressure and density of supranuclear matter: the equation of state. Some of this uncertainty may be remo…
Improved next-to-leading order tidal heating and torquing of a Kerr black hole
Katerina Chatziioannou, Eric Poisson, Nicolas Yunes
We calculate the energy and angular momentum fluxes across the event horizon of a tidally deformed, rapidly rotating black hole to next-to-leading order in the curvature of the ext…
Approximate Universal Relations for Neutron Stars and Quark Stars
Kent Yagi, Nicolas Yunes
Neutron stars and quark stars are ideal laboratories to study fundamental physics at supra nuclear densities and strong gravitational fields. Astrophysical observables, however, de…
The basic physics of the binary black hole merger GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +953
The first direct gravitational-wave detection was made by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory on September 14, 2015. The GW150914 signal was strong eno…
The Effect of Cosmological Evolution on Solar System Constraints and on the Scalarization of Neutron Stars in Massless Scalar-Tensor Theories
David Anderson, Nicolas Yunes, Enrico Barausse
Certain scalar-tensor theories of gravity that generalize Jordan-Fierz-Brans-Dicke theory are known to predict non-trivial phenomenology for neutron stars. In these theories, first…
Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in globular cluster NGC 6544
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +953
We describe a directed search for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science run. The target was the nearby globular cluster NGC 6544 at a distance of 2.7 k…
Results of the deepest all-sky survey for continuous gravitational waves on LIGO S6 data running on the Einstein@Home volunteer distributed computing project
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run. The search was possible thanks to the…
Hereditary Effects in Eccentric Compact Binary Inspirals to Third Post-Newtonian Order
Nicholas Loutrel, Nicolas Yunes
While there has been much success in understanding the orbital dynamics and gravitational wave emission of eccentric compact binaries in the post-Newtonian formalism, some problems…
GW151226: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a 22-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
We report the observation of a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of two stellar-mass black holes. The signal, GW151226, was observed by the twin detectors of th…
Directly comparing GW150914 with numerical solutions of Einstein's equations for binary black hole coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +979
We compare GW150914 directly to simulations of coalescing binary black holes in full general relativity, accounting for all the spin-weighted quadrupolar modes, and separately acco…
