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…

All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…

GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1107

On August 14, 2017 at 10:30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coales…

GW170817: Implications for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Compact Binary Coalescences

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

The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron…

Signatures of extra dimensions in gravitational waves from black hole quasi-normal modes

Sumanta Chakraborty, Kabir Chakravarti, Sukanta Bose +1

In this work we have derived the evolution equation for gravitational perturbation in four dimensional spacetime in presence of a spatial extra dimension. The evolution equation is…

A unified approach to discriminators for searches of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences

Sanjeev Dhurandhar, Anuradha Gupta, Bhooshan Gadre +1

We describe a general mathematical framework for discriminators in the context of the compact binary coalescence search. We show that with any is associated a vector bu…
