Gravitational-wave constraints on the equatorial ellipticity of millisecond pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1333

We present a search for continuous gravitational waves from five radio pulsars, comprising three recycled pulsars (PSR J0437-4715, PSR J0711-6830, and PSR J0737-3039A) and two youn…

Search for Eccentric Binary Black Hole Mergers with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during their First and Second Observing Runs

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1183

When formed through dynamical interactions, stellar-mass binary black holes may retain eccentric orbits ( at 10 Hz) detectable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors.…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186

We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…

Search for Multi-messenger Sources of Gravitational Waves and High-energy Neutrinos with Advanced LIGO during its first Observing Run, ANTARES and IceCube

ANTARES, IceCube, LIGO +1589

Astrophysical sources of gravitational waves, such as binary neutron star and black hole mergers or core-collapse supernovae, can drive relativistic outflows, giving rise to non-th…
