LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Improving pulsar-timing solutions through dynamic pulse fitting
Rowina S. Nathan, Matthew T. Miles, Gregory Ashton +5
Precision pulsar timing is integral to the detection of the nanohertz stochastic gravitational-wave background as well as understanding the physics of neutron stars. Conventional p…
Subtracting glitches from gravitational-wave detector data during the third observing run
D. Davis, T. B. Littenberg, I. M. Romero-Shaw +4
Data from ground-based gravitational-wave detectors contains numerous short-duration instrumental artifacts, called "glitches." The high rate of these artifacts in turn results in…
Multi-messenger parameter inference of gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations of white dwarf binaries
Peyton T. Johnson, Michael W. Coughlin, Ashlie Hamilton +7
The upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect a large gravitational-wave foreground of Galactic white dwarf binaries. These sources are exceptional for their p…
Bayesian inference for compact binary coalescences with BILBY: Validation and application to the first LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalogue
I. M. Romero-Shaw, C. Talbot, S. Biscoveanu +56
Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO--Virgo catalogue of gravitational-wave transients (GWTC-1) contains eleven signals from…
Bilby: A user-friendly Bayesian inference library for gravitational-wave astronomy
Gregory Ashton, Moritz Huebner, Paul D. Lasky +18
Bayesian parameter estimation is fast becoming the language of gravitational-wave astronomy. It is the method by which gravitational-wave data is used to infer the sources' astroph…
Faster search for long gravitational-wave transients: GPU implementation of the transient F-statistic
David Keitel, Gregory Ashton
The F-statistic is an established method to search for continuous gravitational waves from spinning neutron stars. Prix et al. (2011) introduced a variant for transient quasi-monoc…
Hierarchical multi-stage MCMC follow-up of continuous gravitational wave candidates
Gregory Ashton, Reinhard Prix
Leveraging Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) optimization of the F-statistic, we introduce a method for the hierarchical follow-up of continuous gravitational wave candidates identif…
Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +894
In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In orde…
