Search for gravitational waves associated with the InterPlanetary Network short gamma ray bursts
V. Predoi, K. Hurley
We outline the scientific motivation behind a search for gravitational waves associated with short gamma ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) during LIGO's fifth…
Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…
From black holes to their progenitors: A full population study in measuring black hole binary parameters from ringdown signals
Ioannis Kamaretsos
A perturbed black hole emits gravitational radiation, usually termed the ringdown signal, whose frequency and time-constant depends on the mass and spin of the black hole. I invest…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…
Bayesian model selection for testing the no-hair theorem with black hole ringdowns
S. Gossan, J. Veitch, B. S. Sathyaprakash
General relativity predicts that a black hole that results from the merger of two compact stars (either black holes or neutron stars) is initially highly deformed but soon settles…
Towards a generic test of the strong field dynamics of general relativity using compact binary coalescence: Further investigations
T. G. F. Li, W. Del Pozzo, S. Vitale +7
In this paper we elaborate on earlier work by the same authors in which a novel Bayesian inference framework for testing the strong-field dynamics of General Relativity using coale…
Effect of calibration errors on Bayesian parameter estimation for gravitational wave signals from inspiral binary systems in the advanced detectors era
Salvatore Vitale, Walter Del Pozzo, Tjonnie G. F. Li +4
By 2015 the advanced versions of the gravitational-wave detectors Virgo and LIGO will be online. They will collect data in coincidence with enough sensitivity to potentially delive…
Horizon area-angular momentum inequality in higher dimensional spacetimes
Stefan Hollands
We consider -dimensional spacetimes which are axisymmetric--but not necessarily stationary (!)--in the sense of having isometry group , and which satisfy the Einstei…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…
Towards a generic test of the strong field dynamics of general relativity using compact binary coalescence
T. G. F. Li, W. Del Pozzo, S. Vitale +7
Coalescences of binary neutron stars and/or black holes are amongst the most likely gravitational-wave signals to be observed in ground based interferometric detectors. Apart from…
Long-wavelength gravitational waves and cosmic acceleration
Edmund R. Schluessel
Strong long-scale gravitational waves can explain cosmic acceleration within the context of general relativity without resorting to the assumption of exotic forms of matter such as…
A semi-coherent search strategy for known continuous wave sources in binary systems
Chris Messenger
We present a method for detection of weak continuous signals from sources in binary systems via the incoherent combination of many "short" coherently-analyzed segments. The main fo…
Scientific Potential of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +138
Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope (ET) is a design study funded by the European Commission to explore the technological challenges of and scientific benefits from building a th…
Reducing the effect of seismic noise in LIGO searches by targeted veto generation
Duncan M. Macleod, Stephen Fairhurst, Brennan Hughey +4
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory forms part of the international effort to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. One of the major obs…
Measuring a cosmological distance-redshift relationship using only gravitational wave observations of binary neutron star coalescences
Chris Messenger, Jocelyn Read
Detection of gravitational waves from the inspiral phase of binary neutron star coalescence will allow us to measure the effects of the tidal coupling in such systems. These effect…
Reliability of complete gravitational waveform models for compact binary coalescences
Frank Ohme, Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa
With recent advances in post-Newtonian (PN) theory and numerical relativity (NR) it has become possible to construct inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms by combining both descriptio…
Black-hole hair loss: learning about binary progenitors from ringdown signals
Ioannis Kamaretsos, Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa +1
Perturbed Kerr black holes emit gravitational radiation, which (for the practical purposes of gravitational-wave astronomy) consists of a superposition of damped sinusoids termed q…
Massless interacting quantum fields in deSitter spacetime
Stefan Hollands
We generalize key aspects of arXiv:1010.5367 (and also arXiv:1010.5327) to the case of {\em massless} quantum field theory on deSitter spacetime. As in that paper, our ke…

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +721
We present the first modeled search for gravitational waves using the complete binary black hole gravitational waveform from inspiral through the merger and ringdown for binaries w…
A coherent triggered search for single spin compact binary coalescences in gravitational wave data
Ian Harry, Stephen Fairhurst
In this paper we present a method for conducting a coherent search for single spin compact binary coalescences in gravitational wave data and compare this search to the existing co…
Testing General Relativity using Bayesian model selection: Applications to observations of gravitational waves from compact binary systems
Walter Del Pozzo, John Veitch, Alberto Vecchio
Second generation interferometric gravitational wave detectors, such as Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, are expected to begin operation by 2015. Such instruments plan to reach se…
