Diving below the spin-down limit: Constraints on gravitational waves from the energetic young pulsar PSR J0537-6910
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1589
We present a search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the young, energetic X-ray pulsar PSR J0537-6910 using data from the second and third observing runs of LIGO and…
Joint constraints on the field-cluster mixing fraction, common envelope efficiency, and globular cluster radii from a population of binary hole mergers via deep learning
Kaze W. K. Wong, Katelyn Breivik, Kyle Kremer +1
The recent release of the second Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-2) has increased significantly the number of known GW events, enabling unprecedented constraints on form…
State of the field: Binary black hole natal kicks and prospects for isolated field formation after GWTC-2
T. A. Callister, W. M. Farr, M. Renzo
Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo's newly-released GWTC-2 catalog of gravitational-wave detections offers unprecedented information about the spin magnitudes and orientations of mer…
Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift During the LIGO-Virgo Run O3a
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1250
We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced…
Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1338
We report on the population of the 47 compact binary mergers detected with a false-alarm rate 1/yr in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2. We observ…
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…
GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run
R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott, S. Abraham +1349
We report on gravitational wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between…
Properties and astrophysical implications of the 150 Msun binary black hole merger GW190521
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254
The gravitational-wave signal GW190521 is consistent with a binary black hole merger source at redshift 0.8 with unusually high component masses, and $6…
GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of

We report the observation of gravitational waves from a binary-black-hole coalescence during the first two weeks of LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run. The signal was recorded…
Shouts and Murmurs: Combining Individual Gravitational-Wave Sources with the Stochastic Background to Measure the History of Binary Black Hole Mergers
Thomas Callister, Maya Fishbach, Daniel Holz +1
One of the goals of gravitational-wave astronomy is to quantify the evolution of the compact binary merger rate with redshift. The redshift distribution of black hole mergers would…
The Low Effective Spin of Binary Black Holes and Implications for Individual Gravitational-Wave Events
Simona Miller, Thomas A. Callister, Will Farr
While the Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave experiments now regularly observe binary black hole mergers, the evolutionary origin of these events remains a mystery. Analysi…
