Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1344
Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the co…
GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run
R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott, S. Abraham +1349
We report on gravitational wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between…
GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1253
On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio…
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…
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…
