Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042
Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…
GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1107
On August 14, 2017 at 10:30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coales…
GW170817: Implications for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Compact Binary Coalescences
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099
The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron…
First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050
We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 20-475 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0, +0.1]e-8 Hz/s. Such a si…
First low-frequency Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Advanced LIGO data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1039
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run. This search investigates…
