Computing Fast and Reliable Gravitational Waveforms of Binary Neutron Star Merger Remnants

Paul J. Easter, Paul D. Lasky, Andrew R. Casey +2

Gravitational waves have been detected from the inspiral of a binary neutron-star, GW170817, which allowed constraints to be placed on the neutron star equation of state. The equat…

Tests of General Relativity with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145

The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…

Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

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

One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…

GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149

On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…

Properties of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148

On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the…
