Calibration of Advanced Virgo and Reconstruction of the Gravitational Wave Signal h(t) during the Observing Run O2
Virgo Collaboration, F. Acernese, T. Adams +281
In August 2017, Advanced Virgo joined Advanced LIGO for the end of the O2 run, leading to the first gravitational waves detections with the three-detector network. This paper descr…
Empirical tests of the black hole no-hair conjecture using gravitational-wave observations
Gregorio Carullo, Laura van der Schaaf, Lionel London +10
We show that second-generation gravitational-wave detectors at their design sensitivity will allow us to directly probe the ringdown phase of binary black hole coalescences. This o…
Parameterized tests of the strong-field dynamics of general relativity using gravitational wave signals from coalescing binary black holes: Fast likelihood calculations and sensitivity of the method
Jeroen Meidam, Ka Wa Tsang, Janna Goldstein +15
Thanks to the recent discoveries of gravitational wave signals from binary black hole mergers by Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory and Advanced Virgo, th…
Effective-one-body waveforms for binary neutron stars using surrogate models
Benjamin D. Lackey, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Chad R. Galley +2
Gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron star systems can provide information about the masses, spins, and structure of neutron stars. However, this requires accurate and…
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…
