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…

A Coincidence Null Test for Poisson-Distributed Events

Reed Essick, Geoffrey Mo, Erik Katsavounidis

When transient events are observed with multiple sensors, it is often necessary to establish the significance of coincident events. We derive a universal null test for an arbitrary…

Incorporation of Statistical Data Quality Information into the GstLAL Search Analysis

Patrick Godwin, Reed Essick, Chad Hanna +20

We present updates to GstLAL, a matched filter gravitational-wave search pipeline, in Advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run. We discuss the incorporation of statistical dat…

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…
