Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with LSST

R. Margutti, P. Cowperthwaite, Z. Doctor +79

The discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of GW+EM multi-messenger astronomy. Exploiting this breakthrough req…

Ground motion prediction at gravitational wave observatories using archival seismic data

Nikhil Mukund, Michael Coughlin, Jan Harms +13

Gravitational wave observatories have always been affected by tele-seismic earthquakes leading to a decrease in duty cycle and coincident observation time. In this analysis, we lev…

Multi-messenger Bayesian parameter inference of a binary neutron-star merger

Michael W. Coughlin, Tim Dietrich, Ben Margalit +1

The combined detection of a binary neutron-star merger in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation spanning the entire spectrum -- GW170817 / AT2017gfo / G…

Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138

We present results on the mass, spin, and redshift distributions with phenomenological population models using the ten binary black hole mergers detected in the first and second ob…

GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148

We present the results from three gravitational-wave searches for coalescing compact binaries with component masses above 1 during the first and second observing…

A luminosity distribution for kilonovae based on short gamma-ray burst afterglows

Stefano Ascenzi, Michael W. Coughlin, Tim Dietrich +8

The combined detection of a gravitational-wave signal, kilonova, and short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) from GW170817 marked a scientific breakthrough in the field of multi-messenger ast…
