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…

Gravitational wave detection using multiscale chirplets

Emmanuel J. Candès, Philip R. Charlton, Hannes Helgason

A generic `chirp' of the form h(t) = A(t) cos(phi(t)) can be closely approximated by a connected set of multiscale chirplets with quadratically-evolving phase. The problem of findi…

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…

Astrophysically Triggered Searches for Gravitational Waves: Status and Prospects

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration

In gravitational-wave detection, special emphasis is put onto searches that focus on cosmic events detected by other types of astrophysical observatories. The astrophysical trigger…
