Implications from GW170817 and I-Love-Q relations for relativistic hybrid stars

TL;DR: In this article, a new parametrization for hybrid hadron-quark equations of state, which give rise to low-mass twin stars, and test them against GW170817 is found consistent with the coalescence of a binary hybrid star-neutron star.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing the spectral shape of a stochastic gravitational wave background with LISA

TL;DR: In this article, a set of tools to assess the capabilities of LISA to detect and reconstruct the spectral shape and amplitude of a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds.

TL;DR: A review of the current state of research on the stochastic background of the early universe can be found in this paper, where the authors summarize the sources of these gravitational waves and methods used to observe them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring the Binary Black Hole Mass Spectrum with an Astrophysically Motivated Parameterization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct a parameterized model to capture key spectral features that relate gravitational-wave data to theoretical stellar astrophysics, and demonstrate several such inferences that might be made in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravitational waves induced by scalar perturbations as probes of the small-scale primordial spectrum

TL;DR: In this paper, the issue of probing small-scale primordial perturbations using gravitational waves (GWs) was revisited, based on the fact that GWs with relatively large amplitudes are induced at second order in scalar perturbation, and these induced GWs can be probed by both existing and planned GWs.

Planck 2015 results - XIII. Cosmological parameters

GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral

B. P. Abbott, +1134 more
TL;DR: The association of GRB 170817A, detected by Fermi-GBM 1.7 s after the coalescence, corroborates the hypothesis of a neutron star merger and provides the first direct evidence of a link between these mergers and short γ-ray bursts.

The Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger were reported in this paper, with a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203,000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ.

GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence

B. P. Abbott, +973 more
TL;DR: This second gravitational-wave observation provides improved constraints on stellar populations and on deviations from general relativity.

Advanced Virgo: a second-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector

Fausto Acernese, +233 more
TL;DR: Advanced Virgo as mentioned in this paper is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detection rate) by three orders of magnitude.
