Gravity Spy: Lessons Learned and a Path Forward

Michael Zevin, Corey B. Jackson, Zoheyr Doctor +23

The Gravity Spy project aims to uncover the origins of glitches, transient bursts of noise that hamper analysis of gravitational-wave data. By using both the work of citizen-scienc…

Data quality up to the third observing run of Advanced LIGO: Gravity Spy glitch classifications

J. Glanzer, S. Banagiri, S. B. Coughlin +10

Understanding the noise in gravitational-wave detectors is central to detecting and interpreting gravitational-wave signals. Glitches are transient, non-Gaussian noise features tha…

Search of the Early O3 LIGO Data for Continuous Gravitational Waves from the Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. Supernova Remnants

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1411

We present directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from the neutron stars in the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) and Vela Jr. supernova remnants. We carry out the searches in the…

Search for lensing signatures in the gravitational-wave observations from the first half of LIGO-Virgo's third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1378

We search for signatures of gravitational lensing in the gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during O3a, the fi…

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…

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…
