Implementation of an F-statistic all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Virgo VSR1 data
J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +848
We present an implementation of the -statistic to carry out the first search in data from the Virgo laser interferometric gravitational wave detector for periodic grav…
Improved Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +846
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 throughou…
Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +847
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 sec…
The NINJA-2 project: Detecting and characterizing gravitational waveforms modelled using numerical binary black hole simulations
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, 2 Collaboration +888
The Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project is a collaborative effort between members of the numerical relativity and gravitational-wave astrophysics communities. The purpose…
Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed intermediate mass black holes in LIGO-Virgo data from 2005-2010
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +849
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 se…
Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901
We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…
