LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Identifying the host of compact binary mergers
Alberto Salvarese, Hsin-Yu Chen, Daniel E. Holz
Finding the host galaxies of stellar-mass compact binary mergers will open a new window for studying their formation histories and measuring key cosmological parameters, such as th…
Las Cumbres Observatory Gravitational-Wave Follow-up in the Third and Fourth Observing Runs: Strengths and Weaknesses of a Rapid Response Galaxy Targeted Strategy
Ido Keinan, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell +34
We present a summary of gravitational-wave (GW) follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of telescopes during the third (O3) and fourth (O4) observing runs of the…
The Stochastic Siren: Astrophysical Gravitational-Wave Background Measurements of the Hubble Constant
Bryce Cousins, Kristen Schumacher, Adrian Ka-Wai Chung +4
We report the first measurement of the Hubble constant using the stochastic gravitational-wave background arising from binary black hole mergers. This astrophysical backgroun…
Better early than never: A new test for superluminal gravitational wave polarizations
Kristen Schumacher, Colm Talbot, Daniel E. Holz +1
In some beyond-Einstein theories of gravity, gravitational waves can contain up to six polarizations, which are allowed to propagate at different speeds faster than light. These di…
A New Probe of Gravitational Parity Violation Through (Non-)Observation of the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
Thomas Callister, Leah Jenks, Daniel Holz +1
Parity violation in the gravitational sector is a prediction of many theories beyond general relativity. In the propagation of gravitational waves, parity violation manifests by in…
First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050
We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…
First low-frequency Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Advanced LIGO data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1039
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run. This search investigates…
Going the Distance: Mapping Host Galaxies of LIGO and Virgo Sources in Three Dimensions Using Local Cosmography and Targeted Follow-up
L. P. Singer, H. -Y. Chen, D. E. Holz +17
The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) discovered gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary black hole merger in 2015 September and may soon observe…
