Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with LSST
R. Margutti, P. Cowperthwaite, Z. Doctor +79
The discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of GW+EM multi-messenger astronomy. Exploiting this breakthrough req…
Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Fifteen Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129
We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from sixteen well localized candidate neutron stars assuming none of the stars has a binary companion. The searches…
Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138
We present results on the mass, spin, and redshift distributions with phenomenological population models using the ten binary black hole mergers detected in the first and second ob…
GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148
We present the results from three gravitational-wave searches for coalescing compact binaries with component masses above 1 during the first and second observing…
Radio Forensics Could Unmask Nearby Off-axis Gamma-ray Bursts
Imre Bartos, Kyung-hwan Lee, Alessandra Corsi +2
The multi-messenger observation of gamma-ray burst (GRB)\,170817A from the nearby binary neutron-star merger GW170817 demonstrated that low-energy -ray emission can be observed…
A Strong Jet Signature in the Late-Time Lightcurve of GW170817
K. P. Mooley, D. A. Frail, D. Dobie +19
We present new 0.6-10 GHz observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 covering the period up to 300 days post-merger, taken with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, th…
A Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Search for Electromagnetic Signals Coincident with Gravitational-Wave Candidates in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
ray Burst Monitor Team, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +1160
We present a search for prompt gamma-ray counterparts to compact binary coalescence gravitational wave (GW) candidates from Advanced LIGO's first observing run (O1). As demonstrate…
Constraining the p-mode--g-mode tidal instability with GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1136
We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling -modes and -modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This non-resonant instability transfers energy from the orb…
X-ray Swift observations of SN 2018cow
L. E. Rivera Sandoval, T. J. Maccarone, A. Corsi +3
Supernova (SN) 2018cow (or AT2018cow) is an optical transient detected in the galaxy CGCG 137-068. It has been classified as a SN due to various characteristics in its optical spec…
An upper-limit on the linear polarization fraction of the GW170817 radio continuum
Alessandra Corsi, Gregg W. Hallinan, Davide Lazzati +8
We present late-time radio observations of GW170817, the first binary neutron star merger discovered through gravitational waves by the advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors. Our obser…
Superluminal motion of a relativistic jet in the neutron star merger GW170817
K. P. Mooley, A. T. Deller, O. Gottlieb +7
The binary neutron star merger GW170817 was accompanied by radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum and localized to the galaxy NGC 4993 at a distance of 41+/-3 Mpc. The radio…
A turnover in the radio light curve of GW170817
Dougal Dobie, David L. Kaplan, Tara Murphy +7
We present 2-9 GHz radio observations of GW170817 covering the period 125-200 days post-merger, taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large A…
Optimized Radio Follow Up of Binary Neutron-Star Mergers
Dario Carbone, Alessandra Corsi
Motivated by the recent discovery of the binary neutron-star (BNS) merger GW170817, we determine the optimal observational setup for detecting and characterizing radio counterparts…
