Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…
A gravitational wave observatory operating beyond the quantum shot-noise limit: Squeezed light in application
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
Around the globe several observatories are seeking the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs). These waves are predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity [Ei…
Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using LIGO S5 science data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +712
The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distr…
Implementation and testing of the first prompt search for gravitational wave transients with electromagnetic counterparts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +815
Aims. A transient astrophysical event observed in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) channels would yield rich scientific rewards. A first program initiating EM…
