All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369
Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…
Can we use next-generation gravitational wave detectors for terrestrial precision measurements of Shapiro delay?
Andrew G. Sullivan, Doğa Veske, Zsuzsa Márka +4
Shapiro time delay is one of the fundamental tests of general relativity and post-Newtonian theories of gravity. Consequently, its measurements can be used to probe the parameter $…
Search for Advanced LIGO Single Interferometer Compact Binary Coalescence Signals in Coincidence with Gamma-Ray Events in Fermi-GBM
C. Stachie, T. Dal Canton, E. Burns +11
Presented is the description of a new and general method used to search for -ray counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) triggers. This method is specifically applied to single…

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…
GR 20 Parallel Session A3: Modified Gravity
Petr Horava, Arif Mohd, Charles M. Melby-Thompson +1
This is the contribution representing Parallel Session A3, on Modified Gravity, in the Proceedings of the GR 20 Conference (July 2013, Warszawa, Poland). It consists of three invit…
The Transient Gravitational-Wave Sky
Nils Andersson, John Baker, Kris Belczynski +44
Interferometric detectors will very soon give us an unprecedented view of the gravitational-wave sky, and in particular of the explosive and transient Universe. Now is the time to…
A hierarchical method for vetoing noise transients in gravitational-wave detectors
Joshua R Smith, Thomas Abbott, Eiichi Hirose +5
Non-Gaussian noise transients in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors increase the background in searches for short-duration and un-modelled signals. We describe a method f…
A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499
The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…
First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537
We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…
Methods for Reducing False Alarms in Searches for Compact Binary Coalescences in LIGO Data
J. Slutsky, L. Blackburn, D. A. Brown +17
The LIGO detectors are sensitive to a variety of noise transients of non-astrophysical origin. Instrumental glitches and environmental disturbances increase the false alarm rate in…
Prospects for joint radio telescope and gravitational wave searches for astrophysical transients
V. Predoi, J. Clark, T. Creighton +11
The radio skies remain mostly unobserved when it comes to transient phenomena. The direct detection of gravitational waves will mark a major milestone of modern astronomy, as an en…
Feasibility of measuring the Shapiro time delay over meter-scale distances
S. Ballmer, S. Márka, P. Shawhan
The time delay of light as it passes by a massive object, first calculated by Shapiro in 1964, is a hallmark of the curvature of space-time. To date, all measurements of the Shapir…
