Search for Compact Binary Coalescences with Sub-solar Mass Components in Data from the Second Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1816

We report on a gravitational wave search for compact binary coalescences with secondary mass between 0.2 M and 1 M and primary mass between 0.2 M and 10 M, restricting the componen…

Search for Eccentric Black Hole Coalescences during the Third Observing Run of LIGO and Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1772

Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Or…

All-sky Search for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Isolated Neutron Stars in the Early O3 LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1587

We report on an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in the frequency band 20-2000\,Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of …

Searches for continuous gravitational waves from young supernova remnants in the early third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1588

We present results of three wide-band directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from 15 young supernova remnants in the first half of the third Advanced LIGO and Virgo o…

Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the third Advanced LIGO-Virgo observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1586

We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 data set. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced b…

Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1338

We report on the population of the 47 compact binary mergers detected with a false-alarm rate 1/yr in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2. We observ…

Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1344

Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the co…
