Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +847

This paper reports on an unmodeled, all-sky search for gravitational waves from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHB). The search was performed on data from the sec…

Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed intermediate mass black holes in LIGO-Virgo data from 2005-2010

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +849

We report results from a search for gravitational waves produced by perturbed intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in data collected by LIGO and Virgo between 2005 and 2010. The se…
