Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…

Nearly Starobinsky inflation from modified gravity

L. Sebastiani, G. Cognola, R. Myrzakulov +2

We study inflation induced by (power-low) scalar curvature corrections to General Relativity. The class of inflationary scalar potentials , general paramete…

Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873

Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…

A directed search for continuous Gravitational Waves from the Galactic Center

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +871

We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data fr…

Turbulence Accelerating Cosmology from an Inhomogeneous Dark Fluid

I. Brevik, A. V. Timoshkin, Ye. Rabochaya +1

Specific dark energy models with a linear inhomogeneous time-dependent equation of state, within the framework of 4d Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology, are investigated. It…

Inhomogeneous viscous fluids in FRW universe

R. Myrzakulov, L. Sebastiani, S. Zerbini

We give a brief review of some aspects of inhomogeneous viscous fluids in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe. In general, it is pointed out that several fluid models may br…

Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…

Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1319

We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years,…

Some aspects of generalized modified gravity models

Ratbay Myrzakulov, Lorenzo Sebastiani, Sergio Zerbini

In the present work, we review some general aspects of modified gravity theories, investigating mathematical and physical properties and, more specifically, the feature of viable a…
