Search of S3 LIGO data for gravitational wave signals from spinning black hole and neutron star binary inspirals
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on the methods and results of the first dedicated search for gravitational waves emitted during the inspiral of compact binaries with spinning component bodies. We analyz…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
Effects of mode degeneracy in the LIGO Livingston Observatory recycling cavity
Andri M. Gretarsson, Erika D'Ambrosio, Valery Frolov +2
We analyze the electromagnetic fields in a Pound-Drever-Hall locked, marginally unstable, Fabry-Perot cavity as a function of small changes in the cavity length during resonance. M…
Search for gravitational waves from binary inspirals in S3 and S4 LIGO data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on a search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of compact binaries during the third and fourth LIGO science runs. The search focused on gravitational waves gene…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
Detailed comparison of LIGO and Virgo Inspiral Pipelines in Preparation for a Joint Search
F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard, L. Blackburn +27
Presented in this paper is a detailed and direct comparison of the LIGO and Virgo binary neutron star detection pipelines. In order to test the search programs, numerous inspiral s…
