J-GEM observations of an electromagnetic counterpart to the neutron star merger GW170817 (2017, methodology): “After the first detections of gravitational wave (GW) events from binary black hole (BBH) coalescence (Abbott et al. 2016a, 2016b, 2017a), the detection of GWs from a compact binary coalescence including at least one neutron star (NS) has been eagerly awaited.”
An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A (2017, methodology): “Guided by detection times from other instruments, such as those by LIGO/Virgo (Abbott et al. 2016; Abbott et al. 2016; Abbott et al. 2017), this search requires the downlink of the TTE science data, which can have a latency of up to several hours.”
On the Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae (2018, unknown): “…while the short bursts are produced by neutron star–neutron star (or neutron star–black hole) collisions (the most recent confirmation coming from observations of gravitational waves and an electromagnetic follow-up; Abbott et al. 2017b; LIGO and Virgo collaborations Fermi and INTEGRAL 2017).”
The Emergence of a Lanthanide-rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars (2017, background): “When compact binary star systems merge, they release copious amounts of energy in the form of gravitational waves (GWs; Abbott et al. 2016, 2017).”
Multi-messenger observations of a binary neutron star merger (2017, methodology): “The properties of the source that generated GW170817 (see Abbott et al. 2017c for full details; here, we report parameter ranges that span the 90% credible interval) were derived by employing a coherent Bayesian analysis(Veitch et al. 2015; Abbott et al. 2016b) of the three-instrument data,…”
Gravitational waves from primordial black hole mergers (2017, background): “The upper red line, which corresponds to 213 Gpc−3yr−1, gives an upper bound on fPBH since a larger PBH fraction would imply a merger rate that is too large.”
Deep Learning for Real-time Gravitational Wave Detection and Parameter Estimation with Advanced LIGO Data (2017, methodology): “on The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from the merger of binary black holes (BBHs), and the subsequent detections of neutron star mergers, by LIGO [1] has set in motion a scientiﬁc revolution [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. However, matched-ﬁltering, the most sensitive search algorithm used by LIGO, tar”
The origin of spin in binary black holes (2019, methodology): “The merger rate predictions for the isolated binary evolution via the CE phase are consistent (Abbott et al. 2017a) with the observed rate of BBH mergers of around ∼24−112 Gpc−3 yr−1 (Abbott et al. 2019b).”
ATLAS: A High-cadence All-sky Survey System (2018, background): “ATLAS has been a partner in LIGO—Virgo Consortium searching for optical counterparts for gravitational wave events (Abbott et al. 2016, 2017c; Stalder et al. 2017) The ATLAS survey is particularly well-suited because our system covers such a large sky area that we do not require targeted…”
Formation of Double Neutron Star Systems (2017, background): “…tossing of the spin axis during core collapse also applies to the formation of BHs, then this might explain the small effective inspiral spin parameters, χeff inferred for the first four LIGO events (Abbott et al. 2017) without the need for a dynamical formation channel to explain their origin.”
