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…
Fast, flexible, and accurate evaluation of gravitational-wave Malmquist bias with machine learning
Colm Talbot, Eric Thrane
Many astronomical surveys are limited by the brightness of the sources, and gravitational-wave searches are no exception. The detectability of gravitational waves from merging bina…
Constraining temperature distribution inside LIGO test masses from frequencies of their vibrational modes
Carl D Blair, Yuri Levin, Eric Thrane
Thermal distortion of test masses, as well as thermal drift of their vibrational mode frequencies, present a major challenge for operation of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced VIRGO i…
Identifying and mitigating noise sources in precision pulsar timing data sets
Boris Goncharov, D. J. Reardon, R. M. Shannon +14
Pulsar timing array projects measure the pulse arrival times of millisecond pulsars for the primary purpose of detecting nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves. The measurements i…
Gravitational Waves as a Probe of Globular Cluster Formation and Evolution
Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Kyle Kremer, Paul D. Lasky +2
Globular clusters are considered to be likely breeding grounds for compact binary mergers. In this paper, we demonstrate how the gravitational-wave signals produced by compact obje…
Evidence for hierarchical black hole mergers in the second LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave catalog
Chase Kimball, Colm Talbot, Christopher P. L. Berry +10
We study the population properties of merging binary black holes in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog assuming they were all formed dynamically in gravita…
