Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed intermediate mass black holes in LIGO-Virgo data from 2005-2010
(2014)
We report results from a search for gravitational waves produced by perturbed intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in data collected by LIGO and Virgo between 2005 and 2010. The search was sensitive to astrophysical sources ...
Implementation of an F-statistic all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Virgo VSR1 data
(2014)
We present an implementation of the F -statistic to carry out the first
search in data from the Virgo laser interferometric gravitational wave detector for
periodic gravitational waves from a priori unknown, isolated ...
Improved upper limits on the stochastic gravitational-wave background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo data
(2014)
Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic
background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughout the history of
the Universe that is ...
First all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown sources in binary systems
(2014)
We present the first results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown
spinning neutron stars in binary systems using LIGO and Virgo data. Using a specially developed analysis
program, the ...
Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data
(2015)
In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In order to take into account a possible small ...
Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run
(2014)
This paper reports on an unmodeled, all-sky search for gravitational waves from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHB). The search was performed on data from the second joint science run of the LIGO and Virgo ...
Methods and results of a search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts using the GEO 600, LIGO, and Virgo detectors
(2014)
In this paper we report on a search for short-duration gravitational wave bursts in the frequency range 64 Hz–1792 Hz associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), using data from GEO 600 and one of the LIGO or Virgo detectors. ...
