Scientific publications from the Gravitational Wave group
Abstract: (Oxford University Press) We present the Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger Addicts (GRANDMA). The network consists of 21 telescopes with both photometric and spectroscopic facilities. They…
Abstract: (Oxford University Press) We present a new strategy to optimize the electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational wave triggers. This method is based on the widely used galaxy targeting approach where…
Abstract: (IOP) Presented is the description of a new and general method used to search for γ-ray counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) triggers. This method is specifically applied to single GW…
Abstract: (IOP) Advanced LIGO’s second observing run (O2), conducted from 2016 November 30 to 2017 August 25, combined with Advanced Virgo’s first observations in 2017 August, witnessed the birth of…
Announcement Scientific publication
Abstract: (IOP) We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between and ,…
Abstract: (IOP) The first observation of a binary neutron star (NS) coalescence by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors offers an unprecedented opportunity to study matter under…
Abstract: (APS) Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in grand unified theory scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the…
