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…
First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…
The Einstein@Home search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S4 data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
A search for periodic gravitational waves, from sources such as isolated rapidly-spinning neutron stars, was carried out using 510 hours of data from the fourth LIGO science run (S…
Search of S3 LIGO data for gravitational wave signals from spinning black hole and neutron star binary inspirals
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on the methods and results of the first dedicated search for gravitational waves emitted during the inspiral of compact binaries with spinning component bodies. We analyz…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
