All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…

GW170817: Implications for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Compact Binary Coalescences

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron…

First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050

We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…

GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1048

We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 a…

Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 in the first Advanced LIGO observing run with a hidden Markov model

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1043

Results are presented from a semi-coherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1, using data collected during the first A…

Search for intermediate mass black hole binaries in the first observing run of Advanced LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1040

During their first observational run, the two Advanced LIGO detectors attained an unprecedented sensitivity, resulting in the first direct detections of gravitational-wave signals…
