An Optically Targeted Search for Gravitational Waves emitted by Core-Collapse Supernovae during the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1195
We present the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernovae observed within a source distance of approximately 20 Mpc during the…
Model comparison from LIGO-Virgo data on GW170817's binary components and consequences for the merger remnant
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1191
GW170817 is the very first observation of gravitational waves originating from the coalescence of two compact objects in the mass range of neutron stars, accompanied by electromagn…
Search for gravitational-wave signals associated with gamma-ray bursts during the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1196
We present the results of targeted searches for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts during the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo,…
Search for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1196
Gravitational wave astronomy has been firmly established with the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of ten stellar mass binary black holes and a neutron star binary.…
Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's second observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1187
We present an Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for sub-solar mass ultracompact objects in data obtained during Advanced LIGO's second observing run. In contrast to a previou…
All-sky search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the second Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1183
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the Advanced LIGO second observation run; we search for gravitational-wave trans…
