Effects of Data Quality Vetoes on a Search for Compact Binary Coalescences in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run

B. P. Abbott, +954 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the PyCBC pipeline was used to search for gravitational wave signals from compact binary coalescences, and the output of PyCBC was used as a metric for improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supplement: The Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers Inferred from Advanced LIGO Observations Surrounding GW150914

B. P. Abbott, +1003 more
TL;DR: Details of the method and computations are given, including information about the search pipelines, a derivation of the likelihood function for the analysis, a description of the astrophysical search trigger distribution expected from merging BBHs, details on the computational methods, and an analytic method of estimating the detector sensitivity that is calibrated to the measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gravitational-wave measurement of the Hubble constant following the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Virgo

B. P. Abbott, +1186 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detector network were used to obtain the first standard-siren measurement of the Hubble constant.
Journal ArticleDOI

SUPPLEMENT: "LOCALIZATION and BROADBAND FOLLOW-UP of the GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE TRANSIENT GW150914" (2016, ApJL, 826, L13)

B. P. Abbott, +1622 more
TL;DR: Abbott et al. as mentioned in this paper compared the four probability sky maps produced for the gravitational-wave transient GW150914, and provided additional details of the EM follow-up observations that were performed in the different bands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optically targeted search for gravitational waves emitted by core-collapse supernovae during the first and second observing runs of advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo

B. P. Abbott, +1194 more
- 15 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernovae observed within a source distance of approximately 20 Mpc during the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo were presented.
