Tests of General Relativity with GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145
The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…
Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138
One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…
GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149
On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…
Properties of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148
On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the…
A Search for Tensor, Vector, and Scalar Polarizations in the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1097
The detection of gravitational waves with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo has enabled novel tests of general relativity, including direct study of the polarization of gravitationa…
GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1107
On August 14, 2017 at 10:30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coales…
GW170817: Implications for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Compact Binary Coalescences
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099
The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron…
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…
Binary Black Hole Mergers in the first Advanced LIGO Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +972
The first observational run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, saw the first detections of gravitational waves from binary black hole merg…
GW150914: Implications for the stochastic gravitational wave background from binary black holes
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The LIGO detection of the gravitational wave transient GW150914, from the inspiral and merger of two black holes with masses , suggests a population of…
