Optical follow-up of the neutron star-black hole mergers S200105ae and S200115j

Shreya Anand et al.

Summary: The third observing run of LIGO and Virgo revealed the first neutron star-black hole merger candidates in gravitational waves, which are predicted to synthesize r-process elements and create kilonova emission. Optical follow-up and analysis of two high-significance NSBH merger candidates detected to date were conducted, revealing localization probabilities but no viable counterparts were found. State-of-the-art kilonova models tailored to NSBH systems placed constraints on ejecta properties, with potential to rule out certain scenarios.

Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: The study reveals unique characteristics of the merging binary black hole (BBH) population, including a specific primary mass spectrum and misaligned component spins leading to precession of the orbital plane. The research also estimates merger rates, indicating potential correlation between BBH rate and redshift but not exceeding the star formation rate. Additionally, recent exceptional events are examined in relation to population models, with GW190814 being identified as an outlier due to its low secondary mass.

Modelling neutron star-black hole binaries: future pulsar surveys and gravitational wave detectors

Debatri Chattopadhyay et al.

Summary: This study models the formation and evolution of neutron star-black hole binaries, predicting the number of observable binaries in the galaxy and discussing the potential for observation by next-generation radio telescopes and gravitational wave detectors. Systems where the neutron star formed first can be distinguished from those where the black hole formed first based on their properties.

Observation of Gravitational Waves from Two Neutron Star-Black Hole Coalescences

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: This study reports the observation of gravitational waves from two compact binary coalescences in LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run, with properties consistent with neutron star-black hole (NSBH) binaries. The study provides detailed information on the source component masses, source luminosity distances, and more for the two events observed.

Tight multimessenger constraints on the neutron star equation of state from GW170817 and a forward model for kilonova light-curve synthesis

Matt Nicholl et al.

Summary: A rapid analytic framework for predicting kilonova light curves following neutron star mergers has been proposed and validated through fitting to GW170817. Bayes factor analysis supports the inclusion of an additional luminosity source on the first day, emphasizing the importance of tuning follow-up strategies individually for each gravitationally detected NS merger.

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

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: This report presents 39 candidate gravitational-wave events detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between April 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019. The events include black hole binary mergers up to a redshift of approximately 0.8 and events where the components cannot be unambiguously identified. The range of candidate event masses has expanded compared to previous catalogs, with the inclusion of binary systems with asymmetric mass ratios.

Open data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

Rich Abbott et al.

Summary: Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are monitoring the sky and collecting gravitational-wave strain data with sufficient sensitivity. This paper describes the data recorded during their first and second observing runs, including gravitational-wave strain time series sampled at 16384 Hz. The datasets are freely accessible through the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center, providing essential data-quality information, documentation, tutorials, and supporting software for LIGO and Virgo data analysis.
