This list is updated automatically from INSPIRE-HEP and includes papers with up to 50 authors. From 2009 to 2018 I was a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and am a co-author of its papers from that period. Those papers, along with citation counts, are on my INSPIRE profile. My work is also listed on NASA ADS and ORCID.
