Gravitational waveforms from SpEC simulations : neutron star-neutron star and low-mass black hole-neutron star binaries

Francois Foucart, Matthew D. Duez, Tanja Hinderer +9

Gravitational waveforms from numerical simulations are a critical tool to test and analytically calibrate the waveform models used to study the properties of merging compact object…

Unbiased Hubble constant estimation from binary neutron star mergers

Daniel J. Mortlock, Stephen M. Feeney, Hiranya V. Peiris +2

Gravitational wave (GW) observations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers can be used to measure luminosity distances and hence, when coupled with estimates for the mergers' host r…

Distinguishing the nature of comparable-mass neutron star binary systems with multimessenger observations: GW170817 case study

Tanja Hinderer, Samaya Nissanke, Francois Foucart +10

The discovery of GW170817 with gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation is prompting new questions in strong-gravity astrophysics. Importantly, it remains unkno…

A standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant from GW170817 without the electromagnetic counterpart

M. Fishbach, R. Gray, I. Magaña Hernandez +316

We perform a statistical standard siren analysis of GW170817. Our analysis does not utilize knowledge of NGC 4993 as the unique host galaxy of the optical counterpart to GW170817.…

Calibration of Advanced Virgo and Reconstruction of the Gravitational Wave Signal h(t) during the Observing Run O2

Virgo Collaboration, F. Acernese, T. Adams +281

In August 2017, Advanced Virgo joined Advanced LIGO for the end of the O2 run, leading to the first gravitational waves detections with the three-detector network. This paper descr…
