Einstein@Home search for periodic gravitational waves in early S5 LIGO data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration

This paper reports on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from sources such as deformed isolated rapidly-spinning neutron stars. The analysis uses 840 hours of data…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in 186 Days of LIGO's fifth Science Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries, of total mass between 2 and 35 Msun, using LIGO observations between November 14, 2006 and May 18, 2…

Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for exa…

Search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first year of the fifth LIGO science run

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. P. Abbott

We present the results obtained from an all-sky search for gravitational-wave (GW) bursts in the 64-2000 Hz frequency range in data collected by the LIGO detectors during the first…

Search for High Frequency Gravitational Wave Bursts in the First Calendar Year of LIGO's Fifth Science Run

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present an all-sky search for gravitational waves in the frequency range 1 to 6 kHz during the first calendar year of LIGO's fifth science run. This is the first untriggered LIG…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Binary Coalescences in the First Year of LIGO's S5 Data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We have searched for gravitational waves from coalescing low mass compact binary systems with a total mass between 2 and 35 Msun and a minimum component mass of 1 Msun using data f…
