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…

Summary of Tests of General Relativity with the Binary Black Hole Signals from the LIGO-Virgo Catalog GWTC-1

Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel

We summarize the four tests of general relativity carried out using the ten binary black hole signals detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo and included in their first catal…

Tests of General Relativity with the Binary Black Hole Signals from the LIGO-Virgo Catalog GWTC-1

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1142

The detection of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo provides an opportunity to test general relativity in a regime that is inaccessible to traditional astronom…

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…

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…

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…
