Tests of General Relativity with GWTC-3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1682
The ever-increasing number of detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binaries by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors allows us to perform ever-more sensiti…
Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1344
Gravitational waves enable tests of general relativity in the highly dynamical and strong-field regime. Using events detected by LIGO-Virgo up to 1 October 2019, we evaluate the co…
Classifying the unknown: discovering novel gravitational-wave detector glitches using similarity learning
S B Coughlin, S Bahaadini, N Rohani +17
The observation of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences by LIGO and Virgo has begun a new era in astronomy. A critical challenge in making detections is determining…
: A Multi-input Convolutional Neural Network to Automate and Expedite Bright Transient Identification for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Nabeel Rehemtulla, Adam A. Miller, Michael W. Coughlin +1
The Bright Transient Survey (BTS) relies on visual inspection ("scanning") to select sources for accomplishing its mission of spectroscopically classifying all bright extragalactic…
The population of merging compact binaries inferred using gravitational waves through GWTC-3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1634
We report on the population properties of compact binary mergers inferred from gravitational-wave observations of these systems during the first three LIGO-Virgo observing runs. Th…
SN 2019odp: A Massive Oxygen-Rich Type Ib Supernova
T. Schweyer, J. Sollerman, A. Jerkstrand +18
We present and analyze observations of the Type Ib supernova (SN) 2019odp (a.k.a ZTF19abqwtfu) covering epochs within days of the explosion to the nebular phase at 360 d post-explo…
