Advanced LIGO
(2015)The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors are second-generation instruments designed and built for the two LIGO observatories in Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA, USA. The two instruments are identical in design, and ... -
Directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO data
(2015)We present results of a search for continuously emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass x-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semicoherent analysis covers 10 days of LIGO S5 data ranging from 50–550 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Multimessenger search for sources of gravitational waves and high-energy neutrinos : results for initial LIGO-Virgo and IceCube
(2014-11-17)We report the results of a multimessenger search for coincident signals from the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave observatories and the partially completed IceCube high-energy neutrino detector, including periods of joint ... -
Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network
(2014)We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 γ-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO´s fifth and sixth science runs and Virgo´s first, ... -
Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants
(2015)We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves (GWs) in data from the sixth Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) science data run. The targets were nine young supernova remnants not ...
