Search of S3 LIGO data for gravitational wave signals from spinning black hole and neutron star binary inspirals

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on the methods and results of the first dedicated search for gravitational waves emitted during the inspiral of compact binaries with spinning component bodies. We analyz…

LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…

Is the cosmological "constant" a nonlocal quantum residue of discreteness of the causal set type?

Rafael D. Sorkin

The evidence for an accelerating Hubble expansion appears to have confirmed the heuristic prediction, from causal set theory, of a fluctuating and ``ever-present'' cosmological ter…

Photon pressure induced test mass deformation in gravitational-wave detectors

S. Hild, M. Brinkmann, K. Danzmann +14

A widely used assumption within the gravitational-wave community has so far been that a test mass acts like a rigid body for frequencies in the detection band, i.e. for frequencies…

A Joint Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts with AURIGA and LIGO

AURIGA Collaboration, LIGO Scientific Collaboration, L. Baggio et al

The first simultaneous operation of the AURIGA detector and the LIGO observatory was an opportunity to explore real data, joint analysis methods between two very different types of…
