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…
Report on the second Mock LISA Data Challenge
Stanislav Babak, John G. Baker, Matthew J. Benacquista +40
The Mock LISA Data Challenges are a program to demonstrate LISA data-analysis capabilities and to encourage their development. Each round of challenges consists of several data set…
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…
A Joint Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts with AURIGA and LIGO
AURIGA Collaboration, LIGO Scientific Collaboration, L. Baggio et al
The first simultaneous operation of the AURIGA detector and the LIGO observatory was an opportunity to explore real data, joint analysis methods between two very different types of…
Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with 39 Gamma-Ray Bursts Using Data from the Second, Third, and Fourth LIGO Runs
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave bursts associated with 39 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by gamma-ray satellite experiments during LIGO's…
Inference on inspiral signals using LISA MLDC data
Christian Röver, Alexander Stroeer, Ed Bloomer +11
In this paper we describe a Bayesian inference framework for analysis of data obtained by LISA. We set up a model for binary inspiral signals as defined for the Mock LISA Data Chal…
All-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S4 data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1000 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -1.0…
Coherent Bayesian analysis of inspiral signals
Christian Röver, Renate Meyer, Gianluca M. Guidi +2
We present in this paper a Bayesian parameter estimation method for the analysis of interferometric gravitational wave observations of an inspiral of binary compact objects using d…
Searching for Gravitational Waves from Binary Inspirals with LIGO
Duncan A. Brown, Stanislav Babak, Patrick R. Brady +9
We describe the current status of the search for gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binary systems in LIGO data. We review the result from the first scientific run of LI…
Inference on white dwarf binary systems using the first round Mock LISA Data Challenges data sets
Alexander Stroeer, John Veitch, Christian Roever +11
We report on the analysis of selected single source data sets from the first round of the Mock LISA Data Challenges (MLDC) for white dwarf binaries. We implemented an end-to-end pi…
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…
Search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO data from the fourth science run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
The fourth science run of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational-wave detectors, carried out in early 2005, collected data with significantly lower noise than previous science runs. We…
First Cross-Correlation Analysis of Interferometric and Resonant-Bar Gravitational-Wave Data for Stochastic Backgrounds
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, ALLEGRO Collaboration, B. Abbott
Data from the LIGO Livingston interferometer and the ALLEGRO resonant bar detector, taken during LIGO's fourth science run, were examined for cross-correlations indicative of a sto…
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…
A comparison of methods for gravitational wave burst searches from LIGO and Virgo
F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard, L. Blackburn +27
The search procedure for burst gravitational waves has been studied using 24 hours of simulated data in a network of three interferometers (Hanford 4-km, Livingston 4-km and Virgo…
