Gravitational waves and geometrical optics in scalar-tensor theories

Alice Garoffolo, Gianmassimo Tasinato, Carmelita Carbone +2

The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) propagating through cosmic structures can provide invaluable information on the geometry and content of our Universe, as well as on the f…

Generalisation of the Kaiser Rocket effect in general relativity in the wide-angle galaxy 2-point correlation function

Daniele Bertacca

We study wide-angle correlations in the galaxy power spectrum in redshift space, including all general relativistic effects and the Kaiser Rocket effect in general relativity. We f…

Large-scale optical interferometry in general spacetimes

Daniel R. Terno, Giuseppe Vallone, Francesco Vedovato +1

We introduce a convenient formalism to evaluate the frequency-shift affecting a light signal propagating on a general curved background. Our formulation, which is based on the laws…

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…

Towards a viable effective field theory of mimetic gravity

Alexander Ganz, Nicola Bartolo, Sabino Matarrese

We discuss mimetic gravity theories with direct couplings between the curvature and higher derivatives of the scalar field, up to the quintic order, which were proposed to solve th…

Astrophysical signal consistency test adapted for gravitational-wave transient searches

V. Gayathri, P. Bacon, A. Pai +3

Gravitational wave astronomy is established with direct observation of gravitational wave from merging binary black holes and binary neutron stars during the first and second obser…

A wider look at the gravitational-wave transients from GWTC-1 using an unmodeled reconstruction method

F. Salemi, E. Milotti, G. A. Prodi +6

In this paper, we investigate the morphology of the events from the GWTC-1 catalog of compact binary coalescences as reconstructed by a method based on coherent excess power: we us…

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.…

Gravitational-wave detection rates for compact binaries formed in isolation: LIGO/Virgo O3 and beyond

Vishal Baibhav, Emanuele Berti, Davide Gerosa +4

Using simulations performed with the population synthesis code MOBSE, we compute the merger rate densities and detection rates of compact binary mergers formed in isolation for sec…

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…

Static two-body potential at fifth post-Newtonian order

Stefano Foffa, Pierpaolo Mastrolia, Riccardo Sturani +2

We determine the gravitational interaction between two compact bodies up to the sixth power in Newton's constant GN, in the static limit. This result is achieved within the effecti…

Narrow-band search for gravitational waves from known pulsars using the second LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135

Isolated spinning neutron stars, asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis, are expected to be sources of continuous gravitational waves. The most sensitive searches for these…
