DC-readout of a signal-recycled gravitational wave detector

S. Hild, H. Grote, J. Degallaix +10

All first-generation large-scale gravitational wave detectors are operated at the dark fringe and use a heterodyne readout employing radio frequency (RF) modulation-demodulation te…

All-sky LIGO Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Early S5 Data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50--1100 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -5.…

Model Waveform Accuracy Standards for Gravitational Wave Data Analysis

Lee Lindblom, Benjamin J. Owen, Duncan A. Brown

Model waveforms are used in gravitational wave data analysis to detect and then to measure the properties of a source by matching the model waveforms to the signal from a detector.…

First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…
