PyCBC Inference: A Python-based parameter estimation toolkit for compact binary coalescence signals

C. M. Biwer, Collin D. Capano, Soumi De +4

We introduce new modules in the open-source PyCBC gravitational- wave astronomy toolkit that implement Bayesian inference for compact-object binary mergers. We review the Bayesian…

Tidal Deformabilities and Radii of Neutron Stars from the Observation of GW170817

Soumi De, Daniel Finstad, James M. Lattimer +3

We use gravitational-wave observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 to explore the tidal deformabilities and radii of neutron stars. We perform Bayesian parameter est…

Full Band All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0e-8, +1e-9] Hz/s. Pot…
