The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and
study gravitational waves (GWs) of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of GWs holds the …

One of the primary science goals of the next generation of hard x-ray timing instruments is to
determine the equation of state of matter at supranuclear densities inside neutron stars by …

We describe the PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact-object binary
coalescences in advanced gravitational-wave detector data. The search was used in the first …

We describe the multi-band template analysis (MBTA) search for gravitational waves signals
from coalescences of compact objects in the LIGO–Virgo data, at the time of the third …

On September 14, 2015, at 09∶ 50: 45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer
Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) simultaneously observed the binary black hole …

A central challenge in gravitational wave astronomy is identifying weak signals in the
presence of non-stationary and non-Gaussian noise. The separation of gravitational wave …

For a variety of fully relativistic polytropic neutron star models we calculate the star's tidal
Love number k_ {2}. Most realistic equations of state for neutron stars can be approximated …

We present a search for subsolar mass ultracompact objects in data obtained during
Advanced LIGO's second observing run. In contrast to a previous search of Advanced LIGO …

We present a new phenomenological gravitational waveform model for the inspiral and
coalescence of nonprecessing spinning black hole binaries. Our approach is based on a …

Matched-filter searches for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries by the
LIGO Scientific Collaboration use the findchirp algorithm: an implementation of the optimal …
