Inferring the post-merger gravitational wave emission from binary neutron star coalescences

Katerina Chatziioannou, James Alexander Clark, Andreas Bauswein +3

We present a robust method to characterize the gravitational wave emission from the remnant of a neutron star coalescence. Our approach makes only minimal assumptions about the mor…

Constraining alternative theories of gravity using pulsar timing arrays

Neil J. Cornish, Logan O'Beirne, Stephen R. Taylor +1

The opening of the gravitational wave window by ground-based laser interferometers has made possible many new tests of gravity, including the first constraints on polarization. It…

Gravitational Waves Probes of Parity Violation in Compact Binary Coalescence

Stephon H. Alexander, Nicolas Yunes

Is gravity parity violating? Given the recent observations of gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries, we develop a strategy to find an answer with current and future…

Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042

Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…

All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…

Spontaneous scalarization of black holes and compact stars from a Gauss-Bonnet coupling

Hector O. Silva, Jeremy Sakstein, Leonardo Gualtieri +2

We identify a class of scalar-tensor theories with coupling between the scalar and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant that exhibit spontaneous scalarization for both black holes and compac…
