All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369
Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…
Evidence for hierarchical black hole mergers in the second LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave catalog
Chase Kimball, Colm Talbot, Christopher P. L. Berry +10
We study the population properties of merging binary black holes in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog assuming they were all formed dynamically in gravita…
Quantum black hole spectroscopy: probing the quantum nature of the black hole area using LIGO-Virgo ringdown detections
Danny Laghi, Gregorio Carullo, John Veitch +1
We present a thorough observational investigation of the heuristic quantised ringdown model presented in Foit & Kleban (2019). This model is based on the Bekenstein-Mukhanov conjec…
Bayesian inference for compact binary coalescences with BILBY: Validation and application to the first LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalogue
I. M. Romero-Shaw, C. Talbot, S. Biscoveanu +56
Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO--Virgo catalogue of gravitational-wave transients (GWTC-1) contains eleven signals from…
Are stellar--mass binary black hole mergers isotropically distributed?
Richard Stiskalek, John Veitch, Chris Messenger
The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detectors have detected a population of binary black hole mergers in their first two observing runs. For each of these event…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
