Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +887

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science data run. The targets were nine young supernova remnants not associated with pu…

Parameter estimation for binary neutron-star coalescences with realistic noise during the Advanced LIGO era

Christopher P. L. Berry, Ilya Mandel, Hannah Middleton +15

Advanced ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors begin operation imminently. Their intended goal is not only to make the first direct detection of GWs, but also to make infe…

High-energy electromagnetic offline follow-up of LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave binary coalescence candidate events

Lindy Blackburn, Michael S. Briggs, Jordan Camp +5

We present two different search methods for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) events from ground-based detectors using archival NASA high-energy data from the…

The effect of small inter-pulsar distance variations in stochastic gravitational wave background searches with Pulsar Timing Arrays

Chiara M. F. Mingarelli, Trevor Sidery

One of the primary objectives for Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) is to detect a stochastic background generated by the incoherent superposition of gravitational waves (GWs), in partic…

Energy-dependent evolution in IC10 X-1: hard evidence for an extended corona, and implications

R. Barnard, J. F. Steiner, A. F. Prestwich +3

We have analyzed a ~130 ks XMM-Newton observation of the dynamically confirmed black hole + Wolf-Rayet (BH+WR) X-ray binary (XB) IC10 X-1, covering ~1 orbital cycle. This system ex…

Methods and results of a search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts using the GEO600, LIGO, and Virgo detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +889

In this paper we report on a search for short-duration gravitational wave bursts in the frequency range 64 Hz-1792 Hz associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), using data from GEO60…

Double Compact Objects III: Gravitational Wave Detection Rates

M. Dominik, E. Berti, R. O'Shaughnessy +6

The unprecedented range of second-generation gravitational-wave (GW) observatories calls for refining the predictions of potential sources and detection rates. The coalescence of d…

Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…

The First Two Years of Electromagnetic Follow-Up with Advanced LIGO and Virgo

Leo P. Singer, Larry R. Price, Ben Farr +13

We anticipate the first direct detections of gravitational waves (GWs) with Advanced LIGO and Virgo later this decade. Though this groundbreaking technical achievement will be its…

The Formation and Gravitational-Wave Detection of Massive Stellar Black-Hole Binaries

Krzysztof Belczynski, Alessandra Buonanno, Matteo Cantiello +5

If binaries consisting of two 100 Msun black holes exist they would serve as extraordinarily powerful gravitational-wave sources, detectable to redshifts of z=2 with the advanced L…
