Beyond single-threshold searches: the Event Stacking Test
Ryan Lynch, Salvatore Vitale, Erik Katsavounidis
We present a new statistical test that examines the consistency of the tails of two empirical distributions at multiple thresholds. Such distributions are often encountered in coun…
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.…
Observational implications of lowering the LIGO-Virgo alert threshold
Ryan Lynch, Michael Coughlin, Salvatore Vitale +2
The recent detection of the binary-neutron-star merger associated with GW170817 by both LIGO-Virgo and the network of electromagnetic-spectrum observing facilities around the world…
Full Band All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099
We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0e-8, +1e-9] Hz/s. Pot…
