Going the Distance: Mapping Host Galaxies of LIGO and Virgo Sources in Three Dimensions Using Local Cosmography and Targeted Follow-up

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to estimate the full distribution of sky location and distance by combining the three-dimensional posterior with a galaxy catalog, which can reduce the number of galaxies that could conceivably host the event by a factor of 1.4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for Tensor, Vector, and Scalar Polarizations in the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

B. P. Abbott, +1143 more
TL;DR: Using data recorded by Advanced LIGO during its first observing run, no evidence for a background of any polarization is found, and the first direct bounds on the contributions of vector and scalar polarizations to the stochastic background are placed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914

B. P. Abbott, +1033 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of possible systematic errors in the waveform models on estimates of its source parameters were investigated and no evidence for a systematic bias relative to the statistical error of the original parameter recovery of GW150914 due to modeling approximations or modeling inaccuracies was found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for Subsolar-Mass Ultracompact Binaries in Advanced LIGO’s First Observing Run

B. P. Abbott, +1260 more
TL;DR: The null result constrains the coalescence rate of monochromatic (delta function) distributions of nonspinning in primordial black hole binary formation scenario and strengthens the presently placed bounds from microlensing surveys of massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) provided by the MACHO and EROS Collaborations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Galaxy Strategy for LIGO-Virgo Gravitational Wave Counterpart Searches

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a galaxy search strategy for the early years of Advanced LIGO when the range is small and error boxes large, and in the later years when the error boxes will be small and the range large.
