Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992
A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…
Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999
Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…
Binary Black Hole Mergers in the first Advanced LIGO Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +972
The first observational run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, saw the first detections of gravitational waves from binary black hole merg…
Comprehensive All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Sixth Science Run LIGO Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +959
We report on a comprehensive all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 100-1500 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of $[-1.18, +1.00]\…
GW150914: Implications for the stochastic gravitational wave background from binary black holes
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The LIGO detection of the gravitational wave transient GW150914, from the inspiral and merger of two black holes with masses , suggests a population of…
GW150914: The Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Era of First Discoveries
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
Following a major upgrade, the two advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) held their first observation run between September 2015 and…
Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. Th…
Characterization of transient noise in Advanced LIGO relevant to gravitational wave signal GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
On September 14, 2015, a gravitational wave signal from a coalescing black hole binary system was observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors. This paper describes the transient noise…
Observing gravitational-wave transient GW150914 with minimal assumptions
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The gravitational-wave signal GW150914 was first identified on Sept 14 2015 by searches for short-duration gravitational-wave transients. These searches identify time-correlated tr…
Tests of general relativity with GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +978
The LIGO detection of GW150914 provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the two-body motion of a compact-object binary in the large velocity, highly nonlinear regime, and to…
GW150914: First results from the search for binary black hole coalescence with Advanced LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +979
On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) simultaneously observed the binary black hole merger GW150…
