Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042
Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…
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…
Accretion-induced spin-wandering effects on the neutron star in Scorpius X-1: Implications for continuous gravitational wave searches
Arunava Mukherjee, Chris Messenger, Keith Riles
The LIGO's discovery of binary black hole mergers has opened up a new era of transient gravitational wave astronomy. The potential detection of gravitational radiation from another…
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…
Effects of Data Quality Vetoes on a Search for Compact Binary Coalescences in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +957
The first observing run of Advanced LIGO spanned 4 months, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, during which gravitational waves were directly detected from two binary blac…
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…
Speedmeter scheme for gravitational-wave detectors based on EPR quantum entanglement
E. Knyazev, S. Danilishin, S. Hild +1
We propose a new implementation of a quantum speed meter QND measurement scheme. It employs two independent optical readouts of the interferometer test masses, featuring strongly d…
