A Horizon Study for Cosmic Explorer: Science, Observatories, and Community

Matthew Evans, Rana X Adhikari, Chaitanya Afle +29

This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic Explorer will p…

Eccentric Binary Neutron Star Search Prospects for Cosmic Explorer

Amber K. Lenon, Duncan A. Brown, Alexander H. Nitz

We determine the ability of Cosmic Explorer, a proposed third-generation gravitational-wave observatory, to detect eccentric binary neutron stars and to measure their eccentricity.…

Measuring the eccentricity of GW170817 and GW190425

Amber K. Lenon, Alexander H. Nitz, Duncan A. Brown

Two binary neutron star mergers, GW170817 and GW190425, have been detected by Advanced LIGO and Virgo. These signals were detected by matched-filter searches that assume the star's…

Search for Eccentric Binary Neutron Star Mergers in the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO

Alexander H. Nitz, Amber Lenon, Duncan A. Brown

We present a search for gravitational waves from merging binary neutron stars which have non-negligible eccentricity as they enter the LIGO observing band. We use the public Advanc…

Upper limits on the rates of binary neutron star and neutron-star--black-hole mergers from Advanced LIGO's first observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +958

We report here the non-detection of gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron star systems and neutron-star--black-hole systems during the first observing run of Advanc…

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…
