Full Band All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0e-8, +1e-9] Hz/s. Pot…

Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042

Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…

On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1095

On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB 170817A), and…
