1-OGC: The first open gravitational-wave catalog of binary mergers from analysis of public Advanced LIGO data
Alexander H. Nitz, Collin Capano, Alex B. Nielsen +4
We present the first Open Gravitational-wave Catalog (1-OGC), obtained by using the public data from Advanced LIGO's first observing run to search for compact-object binary mergers…

Constraints on nonlinear tides due to - mode coupling from the neutron-star merger GW170817
Steven Reyes, Duncan A. Brown
It has been suggested by Weinberg et al. (2013) that an instability due to the nonlinear coupling of a neutron star's tide to its - and -modes could affect the gravitational-…

PyCBC Live: Rapid Detection of Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Mergers
Alexander H. Nitz, Tito Dal Canton, Derek Davis +1
We introduce an efficient and straightforward technique for rapidly detecting gravitational waves from compact binary mergers. We show that this method achieves the low latencies r…
