Exploring the Sensitivity of Next Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors

B. P. Abbott, +722 more
Abstract: The second-generation of gravitational-wave detectors are just starting operation, and have already yielding their first detections. Research is now concentrated on how to maximize the scientific potential of gravitational-wave astronomy. To support this effort, we present here design targets for a new generation of detectors, which will be capable of observing compact binary sources with high signal-to-noise ratio throughout the Universe.

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run

Richard J. Abbott, +1351 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 39 candidate gravitational wave events from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15.00.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astrophysical implications of the binary black hole merger gw150914

B. P. Abbott, +964 more
TL;DR: The discovery of the GW150914 with the Advanced LIGO detectors provides the first observational evidence for the existence of binary black-hole systems that inspiral and merge within the age of the Universe as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

B. P. Abbott, +1160 more
- 02 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors improved initial estimates of the binary's properties, including component masses, spins, and tidal parameters, using the known source location, improved modeling, and recalibrated Virgo data.
Journal ArticleDOI

GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass $\sim 3.4 M_{\odot}$

B. P. Abbott, +1199 more
TL;DR: In 2019, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9 as mentioned in this paper, which is consistent with the individual binary components being neutron stars.
