Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Fifteen Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129
We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from sixteen well localized candidate neutron stars assuming none of the stars has a binary companion. The searches…
Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138
We present results on the mass, spin, and redshift distributions with phenomenological population models using the ten binary black hole mergers detected in the first and second ob…
GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148
We present the results from three gravitational-wave searches for coalescing compact binaries with component masses above 1 during the first and second observing…
Tests of General Relativity with GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145
The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…
A Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Search for Electromagnetic Signals Coincident with Gravitational-Wave Candidates in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
ray Burst Monitor Team, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +1160
We present a search for prompt gamma-ray counterparts to compact binary coalescence gravitational wave (GW) candidates from Advanced LIGO's first observing run (O1). As demonstrate…
Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138
One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…
Constraining the p-mode--g-mode tidal instability with GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1136
We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling -modes and -modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This non-resonant instability transfers energy from the orb…
Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's first observing run
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1135
We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between 0.2 - 1.0 using data taken between Se…
GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149
On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…
Properties of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148
On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the…
Comparing two models for measuring the neutron star equation of state from gravitational-wave signals
Matthew F. Carney, Leslie E. Wade, Burke S. Irwin
Observations of gravitational-wave signals from binary neutron-star mergers, like GW170817, can be used to constrain the neutron-star equation of state (EoS). One method involves m…
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…
A Search for Tensor, Vector, and Scalar Polarizations in the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1097
The detection of gravitational waves with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo has enabled novel tests of general relativity, including direct study of the polarization of gravitationa…
