Search for Eccentric Binary Black Hole Mergers with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during their First and Second Observing Runs

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1183

When formed through dynamical interactions, stellar-mass binary black holes may retain eccentric orbits ( at 10 Hz) detectable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors.…

Search for Multi-messenger Sources of Gravitational Waves and High-energy Neutrinos with Advanced LIGO during its first Observing Run, ANTARES and IceCube

ANTARES, IceCube, LIGO +1589

Astrophysical sources of gravitational waves, such as binary neutron star and black hole mergers or core-collapse supernovae, can drive relativistic outflows, giving rise to non-th…

GW170608: Observation of a 19-solar-mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1101

On June 8, 2017 at 02:01:16.49 UTC, a gravitational-wave signal from the merger of two stellar-mass black holes was observed by the two Advanced LIGO detectors with a network signa…

Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +887

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science data run. The targets were nine young supernova remnants not associated with pu…

Swift follow-up observations of candidate gravitational-wave transient events

P. A. Evans, J. K. Fridriksson, N. Gehrels +813

We present the first multi-wavelength follow-up observations of two candidate gravitational-wave (GW) transient events recorded by LIGO and Virgo in their 2009-2010 science run. Th…
