Swift follow-up observations of candidate gravitational-wave transient events
P. A. Evans, J. K. Fridriksson, N. Gehrels +813
We present the first multi-wavelength follow-up observations of two candidate gravitational-wave (GW) transient events recorded by LIGO and Virgo in their 2009-2010 science run. Th…
Implications For The Origin Of GRB 051103 From LIGO Observations
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +568
We present the results of a LIGO search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with GRB 051103, a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose electromagnetically det…
All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the second joint LIGO-Virgo run
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +786
We present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO and Virgo detectors between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010: data are analyzed wh…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Intermediate Mass Binary Black Holes
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +790
We present the results of a weakly modeled burst search for gravitational waves from mergers of non-spinning intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in the total mass range 100--450 s…
