Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift During the LIGO-Virgo Run O3a
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1250
We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced…
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…
Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1344
Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the co…
GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run
R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott, S. Abraham +1349
We report on gravitational wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between…
physiCal: A physical approach to the marginalization of LIGO calibration uncertainties
Salvatore Vitale, Carl-Johan Haster, Ling Sun +4
The data from ground based gravitational-wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Virgo must be calibrated to convert the digital output of photodetectors into a relative displacem…
Properties and astrophysical implications of the 150 Msun binary black hole merger GW190521
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254
The gravitational-wave signal GW190521 is consistent with a binary black hole merger source at redshift 0.8 with unusually high component masses, and $6…
GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1253
On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio…
Constraining Unmodeled Physics with Compact Binary Mergers from GWTC-1
Bruce Edelman, Francisco J. Rivera-Paleo, J. D. Merritt +8
We present a flexible model to describe the effects of generic deviations of observed gravitational wave signals from modeled waveforms in the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave det…
GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 M Black Hole with a 2.6 M Compact Object
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254
We report the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 22.2 - 24.3 black hole and a compact object with a mass of 2.50 - 2.67 (all measuremen…
Constraints on the Physical Properties of GW190814 through Simulations based on DECam Follow-up Observations by the Dark Energy Survey
R. Morgan, M. Soares-Santos, J. Annis +99
On 14 August 2019, the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations detected gravitational waves from a black hole and a 2.6 solar mass compact object, possibly the first neutron star -- black ho…
Optical follow-up of gravitational wave triggers with DECam during the first two LIGO/VIRGO observing runs
K. Herner, J. Annis, D. Brout +82
Gravitational wave (GW) events detectable by LIGO and Virgo have several possible progenitors, including black hole mergers, neutron star mergers, black hole--neutron star mergers,…
