Multimessenger Search for Sources of Gravitational Waves and High-Energy Neutrinos: Results for Initial LIGO-Virgo and IceCube

The IceCube Collaboration, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration +1185

We report the results of a multimessenger search for coincident signals from the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave observatories and the partially completed IceCube high-energy neu…

Improved Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +846

Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughou…

Gravitational Wave Hotspots: Ranking Potential Locations of Single-Source Gravitational Wave Emission

Joseph Simon, Abigail Polin, Andrea Lommen +4

The steadily improving sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) suggests that gravitational waves (GWs) from supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) systems in the nearby universe…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Binary Black Hole Inspiral, Merger and Ringdown in LIGO-Virgo Data from 2009-2010

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +800

We report a search for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of binary black holes (BBH) with total mass between 25 and 100 solar masses, in data taken at the…

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…

Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves

P. B. Demorest, R. D. Ferdman, M. E. Gonzalez +24

We present an analysis of high-precision pulsar timing data taken as part of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational waves (NANOGrav) project. We have observed 1…
