All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…
WFIRST: Enhancing Transient Science and Multi-Messenger Astronomy
Ryan J. Foley, Joshua S. Bloom, S. Bradley Cenko +31
Astrophysical transients have been observed for millennia and have shaped our most basic assumptions about the Universe. In the last century, systematic searches have grown from de…
Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s
R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110
As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…
All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130
We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope: 100 Hubbles for the 2020s
Rachel Akeson, Lee Armus, Etienne Bachelet +103
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is a 2.4m space telescope with a 0.281 deg^2 field of view for near-IR imaging and slitless spectroscopy and a coronagraph designe…
