Gravitational waves or deconfined quarks: what causes the premature collapse of neutron stars born in short gamma-ray bursts?
Nikhil Sarin, Paul D. Lasky, Gregory Ashton
We infer the collapse times of long-lived neutron stars into black holes using the X-ray afterglows of 18 short gamma-ray bursts. We then apply hierarchical inference to infer prop…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…
Neutron Star Merger Remnants: Braking Indices, Gravitational Waves, and the Equation Of State
Paul D. Lasky, Nikhil Sarin, Greg Ashton
The binary neutron star merger GW170817/GRB170817A confirmed that at least some neutron star mergers are the progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts. Many short gamma-ray bursts have…
All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130
We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…
X-ray afterglows of Short gamma-ray bursts: Magnetar or Fireball?
Nikhil Sarin, Paul D. Lasky, Greg Ashton
The origin of the X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts has regularly been debated. We fit both the fireball-shock and millisecond-magnetar models of gamma-ray bursts to the X-ray d…
Bilby: A user-friendly Bayesian inference library for gravitational-wave astronomy
Gregory Ashton, Moritz Huebner, Paul D. Lasky +18
Bayesian parameter estimation is fast becoming the language of gravitational-wave astronomy. It is the method by which gravitational-wave data is used to infer the sources' astroph…
