Open data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1245
Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are actively monitoring the sky and collecting gravitational-wave strain data with sufficient sensitivity to detect signals routinely. In this pape…
Self-force effects on the marginally bound zoom-whirl orbit in Schwarzschild spacetime
Leor Barack, Marta Colleoni, Thibault Damour +2
For a Schwarzchild black hole of mass , we consider a test particle falling from rest at infinity and becoming trapped, at late time, on the unstable circular orbit of radius $r…
A first survey of spinning eccentric black hole mergers: Numerical relativity simulations, hybrid waveforms, and parameter estimation
Antoni Ramos-Buades, Sascha Husa, Geraint Pratten +5
We analyze a new numerical relativity dataset of spinning but nonprecessing binary black holes on eccentric orbits, with eccentricities from approximately to , with dime…
An Optically Targeted Search for Gravitational Waves emitted by Core-Collapse Supernovae during the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1195
We present the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernovae observed within a source distance of approximately 20 Mpc during the…
A guide to LIGO-Virgo detector noise and extraction of transient gravitational-wave signals
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have cataloged eleven confidently detected gravitational-wave events during the first two observing runs of the advanc…
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…
