How serious can the stealth bias be in gravitational wave parameter estimation?
Salvatore Vitale, Walter Del Pozzo
The upcoming direct detection of gravitational waves will open a window to probing the strong-field regime of general relativity (GR). As a consequence, waveforms that include the…
Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…
TIGER: A data analysis pipeline for testing the strong-field dynamics of general relativity with gravitational wave signals from coalescing compact binaries
Michalis Agathos, Walter Del Pozzo, Tjonnie G. F. Li +3
The direct detection of gravitational waves with upcoming second-generation gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Virgo will allow us to probe the genuinely strong…
Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…
Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…
Demonstrating the feasibility of probing the neutron star equation of state with second-generation gravitational wave detectors
Walter Del Pozzo, Tjonnie G. F. Li, Michalis Agathos +2
Fisher matrix and related studies have suggested that with second-generation gravitational wave detectors, it may be possible to infer the equation of state of neutron stars using…
Testing general relativity using gravitational waves from binary neutron stars: Effect of spins
Michalis Agathos, Walter Del Pozzo, Tjonnie G. F. Li +3
We present a Bayesian data analysis pipeline for testing GR using gravitational wave signals from coalescing compact binaries, and in particular binary neutron stars. In this study…
Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801
Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…
Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1319
We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years,…
