Tse M, Yu H, Kijbunchoo N, Fernandez-Galiana A, Dupej P, Barsotti L, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2019 Dec; 123(23):231107. PMID: 31868462
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has been directly detecting gravitational waves from compact binary mergers since 2015. We report on the first use of squeezed vacuum states in...

Abbott B, Abbott R, Abbott T, Acernese F, Ackley K, Adams C, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2019 Aug; 123(1):011102. PMID: 31386391
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 new...

Abbott B, Abbott R, Abbott T, Acernese F, Ackley K, Adams C, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2019 Mar; 122(6):061104. PMID: 30822067
We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling p modes and g modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This nonresonant instability transfers energy from the orbit of the...

Phys Rev Lett . 2018 Dec; 121(23):231103. PMID: 30576173
We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between 0.2  M_{⊙}-1.0  M_{⊙} using data taken between September 12, 2015 and January...

Abbott B, Abbott R, Abbott T, Acernese F, Ackley K, Adams C, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2018 Nov; 121(16):161101. PMID: 30387654
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 this...

Abbott B, Abbott R, Abbott T, Acernese F, Ackley K, Adams C, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2018 Jun; 120(20):201102. PMID: 29864331
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 gravitational waves. While general relativity...

Abbott B, Abbott R, Abbott T, Abernathy M, Acernese F, Ackley K, et al.
Living Rev Relativ . 2018 May; 21(1):3. PMID: 29725242
We present possible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to...

Abbott B, Abbott R, Abbott T, Acernese F, Ackley K, Adams C, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2018 Mar; 120(9):091101. PMID: 29547330
The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the event GW170817, the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron...

Abbott B, Abbott R, Abbott T, Acernese F, Ackley K, Adams C, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2018 Feb; 120(3):031104. PMID: 29400511
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 theory may, in principle,...

Rev Sci Instrum . 2018 Jan; 88(12):124501. PMID: 29289175
This paper presents an analysis of the transient behavior of the Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) suspensions used to seismically isolate the optics. We have characterized the transients in...
