Comments on: "Echoes from the abyss: Evidence for Planck-scale structure at black hole horizons"

Gregory Ashton, Ofek Birnholtz, Miriam Cabero +7

Recently, Abedi, Dykaar and Afshordi claimed evidence for a repeating damped echo signal following the binary black hole merger gravitational-wave events recorded in the first obse…

Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992

A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986

We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…

Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999

Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…

Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in globular cluster NGC 6544

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +953

We describe a directed search for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science run. The target was the nearby globular cluster NGC 6544 at a distance of 2.7 k…

Results of the deepest all-sky survey for continuous gravitational waves on LIGO S6 data running on the Einstein@Home volunteer distributed computing project

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration

We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run. The search was possible thanks to the…
