On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1095
On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB 170817A), and…
GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1107
On August 14, 2017 at 10:30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coales…
First low-frequency Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Advanced LIGO data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1039
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run. This search investigates…
Search for transient gravitational waves in coincidence with short duration radio transients during 2007-2013
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, others +999
We present an archival search for transient gravitational-wave bursts in coincidence with 27 single pulse triggers from Green Bank Telescope pulsar surveys, using the LIGO, Virgo a…
GW150914: Implications for the stochastic gravitational wave background from binary black holes
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The LIGO detection of the gravitational wave transient GW150914, from the inspiral and merger of two black holes with masses , suggests a population of…
GW150914: The Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Era of First Discoveries
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
Following a major upgrade, the two advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) held their first observation run between September 2015 and…
