Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1338

We report on the population of the 47 compact binary mergers detected with a false-alarm rate 1/yr in the second LIGO--Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2. We observ…

Improved early warning of compact binary mergers using higher modes of gravitational radiation: A population study

Mukesh Kumar Singh, Shasvath J. Kapadia, Md Arif Shaikh +2

A gravitational-wave (GW) early-warning of a compact-binary coalescence event, with a sufficiently tight localisation skymap, would allow telescopes to point in the direction of th…

The Young Supernova Experiment: Survey Goals, Overview, and Operations

D. O. Jones, R. J. Foley, G. Narayan +68

Time domain science has undergone a revolution over the past decade, with tens of thousands of new supernovae (SNe) discovered each year. However, several observational domains, in…

Of Harbingers and Higher Modes: Improved gravitational-wave early-warning of compact binary mergers

Shasvath J. Kapadia, Mukesh Kumar Singh, Md Arif Shaikh +2

A crucial component to maximizing the science gain from the multi-messenger follow-up of gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary mergers is the prompt discovery of the…
