High-energy electromagnetic offline follow-up of LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave binary coalescence candidate events
Lindy Blackburn, Michael S. Briggs, Jordan Camp +5
We present two different search methods for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) events from ground-based detectors using archival NASA high-energy data from the…
Robust parameter estimation for compact binaries with ground-based gravitational-wave observations using the LALInference software library
John Veitch, Vivien Raymond, Benjamin Farr +24
The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational wave (GW) detectors will begin operation in the coming years, with compact binary coalescence events a likely source for the firs…
Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma +231
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detec…
Testing the no-hair theorem with black hole ringdowns using TIGER
J. Meidam, M. Agathos, C. Van Den Broeck +2
The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed third-generation gravitational wave observatory, would enable tests of the no-hair theorem by looking at the characteristic frequencies and…
The First Two Years of Electromagnetic Follow-Up with Advanced LIGO and Virgo
Leo P. Singer, Larry R. Price, Ben Farr +13
We anticipate the first direct detections of gravitational waves (GWs) with Advanced LIGO and Virgo later this decade. Though this groundbreaking technical achievement will be its…
Measuring the spin of black holes in binary systems using gravitational waves
Salvatore Vitale, Ryan Lynch, John Veitch +2
Compact binary coalescences are the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs) for ground based detectors. Binary systems containing one or two spinning black holes are pa…
