A follow-up on intermediate-mass black hole candidates in the second LIGO-Virgo observing run with the Bayes Coherence Ratio
Avi Vajpeyi, Rory Smith, Eric Thrane +7
The detection of an intermediate-mass black hole population ( ) will provide clues to their formation environments (e.g., disks of active galactic nuclei, glo…
The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
Gravitational-Wave Geodesy: A New Tool for Validating Detection of the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
Thomas Callister, Michael Coughlin, Jonah Kanner
A valuable target for advanced gravitational-wave detectors is the stochastic gravitational-wave background. The stochastic background imparts a weak correlated signal into network…
Mitigation of the instrumental noise transient in gravitational-wave data surrounding GW170817
Chris Pankow, Katerina Chatziioannou, Eve A. Chase +9
In the coming years gravitational-wave detectors will undergo a series of improvements, with an increase in their detection rate by about an order of magnitude. Routine detections…
Enhancing confidence in the detection of gravitational waves from compact binaries using signal coherence
Maximiliano Isi, Rory Smith, Salvatore Vitale +3
We show that gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers may be better distinguished from instrumental noise transients by using Bayesian models that look for signal coh…
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…
