Direct limits for scalar field dark matter from a gravitational-wave detector

Sander M. Vermeulen, Philip Relton, Hartmut Grote +20

The nature of dark matter remains unknown to date; several candidate particles are being considered in a dynamically changing research landscape. Scalar field dark matter is a prom…

All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369

Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186

We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…
