LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
The Total Merger Rate of Compact Object Binaries In The Local Universe
Aleksander Sadowski, Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik +3
Using a population synthesis approach, we compute the total merger rate in the local Universe for double neutron stars, double black holes, and black hole -- neutron star binaries.…
Host Galaxies Catalog Used in LIGO Searches for Compact Binary Coalescence Events
Ravi Kumar Kopparapu, Chad R. Hanna, Vicky Kalogera +4
An up-to-date catalog of nearby galaxies considered as hosts of binary compact objects is provided with complete information about sky position, distance, extinction-corrected blue…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
Dynamical Interactions and the Black Hole Merger Rate of the Universe
Ryan O'Leary, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Frederic Rasio
Binary black holes can form efficiently in dense young stellar clusters, such as the progenitors of globular clusters, via a combination of gravitational segregation and cluster ev…
