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…

The physical properties of AM CVn stars: new insights from Gaia DR2

G. Ramsay, M. J. Green, T. R. Marsh +9

AM CVn binaries are hydrogen deficient compact binaries with an orbital period in the 5-65 min range and are predicted to be strong sources of persistent gravitational wave radiati…

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…

Multi-Messenger Astrophysics: Harnessing the Data Revolution

Gabrielle Allen, Warren Anderson, Erik Blaufuss +27

The past year has witnessed discovery of the first identified counterparts to a gravitational wave transient (GW 170817A) and a very high-energy neutrino (IceCube-170922A). These s…

A standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant from GW170817 without the electromagnetic counterpart

M. Fishbach, R. Gray, I. Magaña Hernandez +316

We perform a statistical standard siren analysis of GW170817. Our analysis does not utilize knowledge of NGC 4993 as the unique host galaxy of the optical counterpart to GW170817.…
