Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Fifteen Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO

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

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from sixteen well localized candidate neutron stars assuming none of the stars has a binary companion. The searches…

KAGRA: 2.5 Generation Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detector

T. Akutsu, M. Ando, K. Arai +188

The recent detections of gravitational waves (GWs) reported by LIGO/Virgo collaborations have made significant impact on physics and astronomy. A global network of GW detectors wil…

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…

Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

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

One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…

Constraining the p-mode--g-mode tidal instability with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1136

We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling -modes and -modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This non-resonant instability transfers energy from the orb…

Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's first observing run

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1135

We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between 0.2 - 1.0 using data taken between Se…
