The origin of the first neutron star -- neutron star merger
K. Belczynski, A. Askar, M. Arca-Sedda +8
The first neutron star-neutron star (NS-NS) merger was discovered on August 17, 2017 through gravitational waves (GW170817) and followed with electromagnetic observations. This mer…
Double neutron stars: merger rates revisited
Martyna Chruslinska, Krzysztof Belczynski, Jakub Klencki +1
We revisit double neutron star (DNS) formation in the classical binary evolution scenario in light of the recent LIGO/Virgo DNS detection (GW170817). The observationally estimated…
GW150914: First search for the electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational-wave event by the TOROS collaboration
Mario C. Díaz, Martín Beroiz, Tania Peñuela +31
We present the results of the optical follow-up conducted by the TOROS collaboration of the first gravitational-wave event GW150914. We conducted unfiltered CCD observations (0.35-…
On the formation and evolution of the first Be star in a black hole binary MWC 656
M. Grudzinska, K. Belczynski, J. Casares +8
We find that the formation of MWC 656 (the first Be binary containing a black hole) involves a common envelope phase and a supernova explosion. This result supports the idea that a…
Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants
J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +887
We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science data run. The targets were nine young supernova remnants not associated with pu…
Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts during LIGO science run 6 and Virgo science runs 2 and 3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +807
We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 154 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-ray experiments in 2009-2010, dur…
