All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…

Search for transient gravitational wave signals associated with magnetar bursts during Advanced LIGO's second observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129

We present the results of a search for short and intermediate-duration gravitational-wave signals from four magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGO's second observing run. We find no evid…

Narrow-band search for gravitational waves from known pulsars using the second LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135

Isolated spinning neutron stars, asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis, are expected to be sources of continuous gravitational waves. The most sensitive searches for these…

GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration

On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW1…
