Degeneracies in Sky Localisation Determination from a Spinning Coalescing Binary through Gravitational Wave Observations: a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo Analysis for two Detectors

V. Raymond, M. V. van der Sluys, I. Mandel +3

Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave i…

All-sky LIGO Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Early S5 Data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50--1100 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -5.…

First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…

Parameter estimation of spinning binary inspirals using Markov-chain Monte Carlo

Marc van der Sluys, Vivien Raymond, Ilya Mandel +5

We present a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) technique to study the source parameters of gravitational-wave signals from the inspirals of stellar-mass compact binaries detected wit…

The Einstein@Home search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S4 data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

A search for periodic gravitational waves, from sources such as isolated rapidly-spinning neutron stars, was carried out using 510 hours of data from the fourth LIGO science run (S…

The LSC Glitch Group : Monitoring Noise Transients during the fifth LIGO Science Run

L. Blackburn, L. Cadonati, S. Caride +33

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) glitch group is part of the LIGO detector characterization effort. It consists of data analysts and detector experts who, during and after s…
