Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Fifteen Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from sixteen well localized candidate neutron stars assuming none of the stars has a binary companion. The searches…

Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138

We present results on the mass, spin, and redshift distributions with phenomenological population models using the ten binary black hole mergers detected in the first and second ob…

Identifying correlations between LIGO's astronomical range and auxiliary sensors using lasso regression

Marissa Walker, Alfonso F. Agnew, Jeffrey Bidler +6

The range to which the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) can observe astrophysical systems varies over time, limited by noise in the instruments and their…
