A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891
We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…
Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +867
In 2009-2010, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observa- tory (LIGO) operated together with international partners Virgo and GEO600 as a network to search for gravitation…
Advanced LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors are second generation instruments designed and built for the two LIGO observatories in Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA. The two instru…
Improved methods for detecting gravitational waves associated with short gamma-ray bursts
A. R. Williamson, C. Biwer, S. Fairhurst +4
In the era of second generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors, short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) will be among the most promising astrophysical events for joint electromagn…
Searching for stochastic gravitational waves using data from the two co-located LIGO Hanford detectors
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +873
Searches for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using terrestrial detectors typically involve cross-correlating data from pairs of detectors. The sensitivity of such…
Gravitational-wave observations of binary black holes: Effect of non-quadrupole modes
Vijay Varma, Parameswaran Ajith, Sascha Husa +3
We study the effect of non-quadrupolar modes in the detection and parameter estimation of gravitational waves (GWs) from non-spinning black-hole binaries. We evaluate the loss of s…
Towards models of gravitational waveforms from generic binaries II: Modelling precession effects with a single effective precession parameter
Patricia Schmidt, Frank Ohme, Mark Hannam
Gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by generic black-hole binaries show a rich structure that directly reflects the complex dynamics introduced by the precession of the orbital plane…
Prospects for joint gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations of neutron-star--black-hole coalescing binaries
Francesco Pannarale, Frank Ohme
Coalescing neutron-star-black-hole (NS-BH) binaries are a promising source of gravitational-wave (GW) signals detectable with large-scale laser interferometers such as Advanced LIG…
Investigating Binary Black Hole Mergers with Principal Component Analysis
James Clark, Laura Cadonati, James Healy +6
Despite recent progress in numerical simulations of the coalescence of binary black hole systems, highly asymmetric spinning systems and the construction of accurate physical templ…
Improved Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +846
Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughou…
Testing the no-hair theorem with black hole ringdowns using TIGER
J. Meidam, M. Agathos, C. Van Den Broeck +2
The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed third-generation gravitational wave observatory, would enable tests of the no-hair theorem by looking at the characteristic frequencies and…
Sensitivity Comparison of Searches for Binary Black Hole Coalescences with Ground-based Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Satya Mohapatra, Laura Cadonati, Sarah Caudill +7
Searches for gravitational-wave transients from binary black hole coalescences typically rely on one of two approaches: matched filtering with templates and morphology-independent…
