You Can't Always Get What You Want: The Impact of Prior Assumptions on Interpreting GW190412

Michael Zevin, Christopher P. L. Berry, Scott Coughlin +2

GW190412 is the first observation of a black hole binary with definitively unequal masses. GW190412's mass asymmetry, along with the measured positive effective inspiral spin, allo…

First narrow-band search for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars in advanced detector data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1096

Spinning neutron stars asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis are potential sources of continuous gravitational waves for ground-based interferometric detectors. In the cas…
