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…
Quantum Gravity Phenomenology, Lorentz Invariance and Discreteness
Fay Dowker, Joe Henson, Rafael D. Sorkin
Contrary to what is often stated, a fundamental spacetime discreteness need not contradict Lorentz invariance. A causal set's discreteness is in fact locally Lorentz invariant, and…
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…
