Binary neutron star formation and the origin of GW170817

K. Belczynski, T. Bulik, A. Olejak +11

The first neutron star-neutron star merger was detected in by LIGO/Virgo in a galaxy in which the majority of star formation was taking place a long time ago (11 Gyr). LIGO/Virgo e…

The NANOGrav 11-Year Data Set: Limits on Gravitational Waves from Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

K. Aggarwal, Z. Arzoumanian, P. T. Baker +60

Observations indicate that nearly all galaxies contain supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centers. When galaxies merge, their component black holes form SMBH binaries (SMBHB…

Future prospects for ground-based gravitational wave detectors The Galactic double neutron star merger rate revisited

Nihan Pol, Maura McLaughlin, Duncan R. Lorimer

We present the Galactic merger rate for double neutron star (DNS) binaries using the observed sample of eight DNS systems merging within a Hubble time. This sample includes the rec…

PALFA Discovery of a Highly Relativistic Double Neutron Star Binary

K. Stovall, P. C. C. Freire, S. Chatterjee +32

We report the discovery and initial follow-up of a double neutron star (DNS) system, PSR J19462052, with the Arecibo L-Band Feed Array pulsar (PALFA) survey. PSR J19462052 is…

The NANOGrav 11-year Data Set: Pulsar-timing Constraints On The Stochastic Gravitational-wave Background

Z. Arzoumanian, P. T. Baker, A. Brazier +57

We search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the newly released -year dataset from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Wa…
