Analysis of First LIGO Science Data for Stochastic Gravitational Waves

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the analysis of between 50 and 100 hrs of coincident interferometric strain data used to search for and establish an upper limit on a stochastic background of gravitatio…

First upper limits from LIGO on gravitational wave bursts

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts using data from the first science run of the LIGO detectors. Our search focuses on bursts with durations ranging from 4 ms to 10…

3D simulations of Einstein's equations: symmetric hyperbolicity, live gauges and dynamic control of the constraints

Manuel Tiglio, Luis Lehner, David Neilsen

We present three-dimensional simulations of Einstein equations implementing a symmetric hyperbolic system of equations with dynamical lapse. The numerical implementation makes use…

Upper limits on the strength of periodic gravitational waves from PSR J1939+2134

B. Allen, G. Woan

The first science run of the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors presented the opportunity to test methods of searching for gravitational waves from known pulsars. Here we pr…

Higher order gravity theories and scalar tensor theories

Eanna E. Flanagan

We generalize the known equivalence between higher order gravity theories and scalar tensor theories to a new class of theories. Specifically, in the context of a first order or Pa…

Detector Description and Performance for the First Coincidence Observations between LIGO and GEO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

For 17 days in August and September 2002, the LIGO and GEO interferometer gravitational wave detectors were operated in coincidence to produce their first data for scientific analy…

Analysis of LIGO data for gravitational waves from binary neutron stars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binary systems in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. The analysis uses data taken by two of the three LI…

Setting upper limits on the strength of periodic gravitational waves using the first science data from the GEO600 and LIGO detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

Data collected by the GEO600 and LIGO interferometric gravitational wave detectors during their first observational science run were searched for continuous gravitational waves fro…

Impact of densitized lapse slicings on evolutions of a wobbling black hole

U. Sperhake, K. L. Smith, B. Kelly +2

We present long-term stable and second-order convergent evolutions of an excised wobbling black hole. Our results clearly demonstrate that the use of a densitized lapse function ex…

Toward standard testbeds for numerical relativity

Miguel Alcubierre, Gabrielle Allen, Carles Bona +18

In recent years, many different numerical evolution schemes for Einstein's equations have been proposed to address stability and accuracy problems that have plagued the numerical r…

3D simulations of linearized scalar fields in Kerr spacetime

Mark A. Scheel, Adrienne L. Erickcek, Lior M. Burko +3

We investigate the behavior of a dynamical scalar field on a fixed Kerr background in Kerr-Schild coordinates using a 3+1 dimensional spectral evolution code, and we measure the po…

Moving black holes via singularity excision

D. Shoemaker, K. Smith, U. Sperhake +3

We present a singularity excision algorithm appropriate for numerical simulations of black holes moving throughout the computational domain. The method is an extension of the excis…
