Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…
First Searches for Optical Counterparts to Gravitational-wave Candidate Events
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +904
During the LIGO and Virgo joint science runs in 2009-2010, gravitational wave (GW) data from three interferometer detectors were analyzed within minutes to select GW candidate even…
Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…
Enhancing the sensitivity of the LIGO gravitational wave detector by using squeezed states of light
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
Nearly a century after Einstein first predicted the existence of gravitational waves, a global network of earth-based gravitational wave observatories is seeking to directly detect…
A directed search for continuous Gravitational Waves from the Galactic Center
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +871
We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data fr…
Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…
