B. P. Abbott, +1001 more
- 21 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a 15-dimensional precessing-spin waveform model (precessing EOBNR) was developed within the EOB formalism for GW150914.

B. P. Abbott, +719 more
- 28 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a dedicated photon radiation pressure actuator, with cross-checks provided by optical and radio frequency references, to validate the model and characterize its uncertainty.

Constraints on cosmic strings from the ligo-virgo gravitational-wave detectors

J. Aasi, +893 more
TL;DR: New constraints on cosmic string parameters are derived, which complement and improve existing limits from previous searches for a stochastic background of GWs from cosmic microwave background measurements and pulsar timing data.
