Swift follow-up observations of candidate gravitational-wave transient events
P. A. Evans, J. K. Fridriksson, N. Gehrels +813
We present the first multi-wavelength follow-up observations of two candidate gravitational-wave (GW) transient events recorded by LIGO and Virgo in their 2009-2010 science run. Th…
A New Approach to Time Domain Classification of Broadband Noise in Gravitational Wave Data
Soma Mukherjee, Papia Rizwan, Rahul Biswas
Broadband noise in gravitational wave (GW) detectors, also known as triggers, can often be a deterrant to the efficiency with which astrophysical search pipelines detect sources. I…
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…
First LIGO search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic (super)strings
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on a matched-filter search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic string cusps using LIGO data from the fourth science run (S4) which took place in February and March…
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 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…
