Search for subsolar-mass black hole binaries in the second part of Advanced LIGO's and Advanced Virgo's third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1702

We describe a search for gravitational waves from compact binaries with at least one component with mass 0.2 -- and mass ratio in Advanced LIGO…

Search for gravitational-wave transients associated with magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo data from the third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1667

Gravitational waves are expected to be produced from neutron star oscillations associated with magnetar giant flares and short bursts. We present the results of a search for short-…

The impact of confusion noise on golden binary neutron-star events in next-generation terrestrial observatories

Luca Reali, Andrea Antonelli, Roberto Cotesta +4

Next-generation terrestrial gravitational-wave observatories will detect signals from compact binary coalescences every year. These signals can last for sever…

Model-based cross-correlation search for gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 in LIGO O3 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1692

We present the results of a model-based search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 using LIGO detector data from the third observing run…

Nonlinear effects in black hole ringdown

Mark Ho-Yeuk Cheung, Vishal Baibhav, Emanuele Berti +8

We report evidence for nonlinear modes in the ringdown stage of the gravitational waveform produced by the merger of two comparable-mass black holes. We consider both the coalescen…

Observability of lensing of gravitational waves from massive black hole binaries with LISA

Mesut Çalışkan, Lingyuan Ji, Roberto Cotesta +3

The gravitational waves emitted by massive black hole binaries in the LISA band can be lensed. Wave-optics effects in the lensed signal are crucial when the Schwarzschild radius of…

Search for continuous gravitational wave emission from the Milky Way center in O3 LIGO--Virgo data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1667

We present a directed search for continuous gravitational wave (CW) signals emitted by spinning neutron stars located in the inner parsecs of the Galactic Center (GC). Compelling e…

Tests of General Relativity with Gravitational-Wave Observations using a Flexible--Theory-Independent Method

Ajit Kumar Mehta, Alessandra Buonanno, Roberto Cotesta +3

We perform tests of General Relativity (GR) with gravitational waves (GWs) from the inspiral stage of compact binaries using a theory-independent framework, which adds generic phas…

First joint observation by the underground gravitational-wave detector, KAGRA, with GEO600

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1669

We report the results of the first joint observation of the KAGRA detector with GEO600. KAGRA is a cryogenic and underground gravitational-wave detector consisting of a laser inter…

Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with a hidden Markov model in O3 LIGO data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1669

Results are presented for a semi-coherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to allow for spin…

Multipolar gravitational waveforms for spinning binary black holes and their impact on source characterization

Roberto Cotesta

In the last five years, gravitational-wave astronomy has gone from a purely theoretical field into a thriving experimental science. Many gravitational-wave signals, emitted by stel…

All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo O3 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1667

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves which can be produced by spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis, using data…

Analysis of Ringdown Overtones in GW150914

Roberto Cotesta, Gregorio Carullo, Emanuele Berti +1

We analyze GW150914 post-merger data to understand if ringdown overtone detection claims are robust. We find no evidence in favor of an overtone in the data after the waveform peak…
