A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499

The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…

Separating Gravitational Wave Signals from Instrument Artifacts

Tyson B. Littenberg, Neil J. Cornish

Central to the gravitational wave detection problem is the challenge of separating features in the data produced by astrophysical sources from features produced by the detector. Ma…

Calibration of the LIGO Gravitational Wave Detectors in the Fifth Science Run

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +538

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a network of three detectors built to detect local perturbations in the space-time metric from astrophysical sourc…

Fast Fisher Matrices and Lazy Likelihoods

Neil J. Cornish

Theoretical studies in gravitational wave astronomy often require the calculation of Fisher Information Matrices and Likelihood functions, which in a direct approach entail the cos…

Characterizing Spinning Black Hole Binaries in Eccentric Orbits with LISA

Joey Shapiro Key, Neil J. Cornish

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is designed to detect gravitational wave signals from astrophysical sources, including those from coalescing binary systems of compact…

First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537

We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO and Virgo Data from S5 and VSR1

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

We report the results of the first search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence using data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Five months of data were collected d…

Computing waveforms for spinning compact binaries in quasi-eccentric orbits

Neil J. Cornish, Joey Shapiro Key

Several scenarios have been proposed in which the orbits of binary black holes enter the band of a gravitational wave detector with significant eccentricity. To avoid missing these…

All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

We present results from an all-sky search for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO, GEO 600 and Virgo detectors between November 2006 and October 2…

Discriminating between a Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background and Instrument Noise

Matthew R. Adams, Neil J. Cornish

The detection of a stochastic background of gravitational waves could significantly impact our understanding of the physical processes that shaped the early Universe. The challenge…

The Mock LISA Data Challenges: from Challenge 3 to Challenge 4

Stanislav Babak, John G. Baker, Matthew J. Benacquista +27

The Mock LISA Data Challenges are a program to demonstrate LISA data-analysis capabilities and to encourage their development. Each round of challenges consists of one or more data…
