Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with LISA
Pierre Auclair, Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel G. Figueroa +8
Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loop…
Projection effects on the observed angular spectrum of the astrophysical stochastic gravitational wave background
Daniele Bertacca, Angelo Ricciardone, Nicola Bellomo +5
The detection and characterization of the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) is one of the main goals of Gravitational Wave (GW) experiments. The observed SGWB will be…
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…
Estimating the angular power spectrum of the gravitational-wave background in the presence of shot noise
Alexander C. Jenkins, Joseph D. Romano, Mairi Sakellariadou
There has been much recent interest in studying anisotropies in the astrophysical gravitational-wave (GW) background, as these could provide us with interesting new information abo…
Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 in the second Advanced LIGO observing run with an improved hidden Markov model
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1134
We present results from a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to track spin wander…
Search for the isotropic stochastic background using data from Advanced LIGO's second observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1133
The stochastic gravitational-wave background is a superposition of sources that are either too weak or too numerous to detect individually. In this study we present the results fro…
Search for transient gravitational wave signals associated with magnetar bursts during Advanced LIGO's second observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129
We present the results of a search for short and intermediate-duration gravitational-wave signals from four magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGO's second observing run. We find no evid…
Searches for Gravitational Waves from Known Pulsars at Two Harmonics in 2015-2017 LIGO Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149
We present a search for gravitational waves from 221 pulsars with rotation frequencies Hz. We use advanced LIGO data from its first and second observing runs spanning…
Narrow-band search for gravitational waves from known pulsars using the second LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135
Isolated spinning neutron stars, asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis, are expected to be sources of continuous gravitational waves. The most sensitive searches for these…
Shot noise in the astrophysical gravitational-wave background
Alexander C. Jenkins, Mairi Sakellariadou
We calculate the noise induced in the anisotropies of the astrophysical gravitational-wave background by finite sampling of both the galaxy distribution and the compact binary coal…
Response to Cusin et al's comment on arXiv:1810.13435
Alexander C. Jenkins, Mairi Sakellariadou, Tania Regimbau +3
We offer a brief response to the criticisms put forward by Cusin et al in arXiv:1811.03582 about our work arXiv:1810.13435 and arXiv:1806.01718, emphasising that none of these crit…
Low-Latency Gravitational Wave Alerts for Multi-Messenger Astronomy During the Second Advanced LIGO and Virgo Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135
Advanced LIGO's second observing run (O2), conducted from November 30, 2016 to August 25, 2017, combined with Advanced Virgo's first observations in August 2017 witnessed the birth…
