Search for Eccentric Black Hole Coalescences during the Third Observing Run of LIGO and Virgo

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1772

Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Or…

On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1095

On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB 170817A), and…
