Journal ArticleDOI

On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

B. P. Abbott, +1140 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the first constraints on the progenitor of GW170817 at the time of the second supernova (SN) and found these constraints to be comparable to those for Galactic BNS progenitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

The characterization of Virgo data and its impact on gravitational-wave searches

J. Aasi, +800 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present examples from the joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo GW searches to show how well noise transients and narrow spectral lines have been identified and excluded from the Virgo data.
