Diving below the spin-down limit: Constraints on gravitational waves from the energetic young pulsar PSR J0537-6910

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1589

We present a search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the young, energetic X-ray pulsar PSR J0537-6910 using data from the second and third observing runs of LIGO and…

Probing multiple populations of compact binaries with third-generation gravitational-wave detectors

Ken K. Y. Ng, Salvatore Vitale, Will M. Farr +1

Third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave (GW) detectors will be able to observe binary-black-hole mergers (BBHs) up to redshift of . This gives unprecedented access to the…

Testing the black-hole area law with GW150914

Maximiliano Isi, Will M. Farr, Matthew Giesler +2

We present observational confirmation of Hawking's black-hole area theorem based on data from GW150914, finding agreement with the prediction with 97% (95%) probability when we mod…

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…
