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…

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…

Five years of searches for point sources of astrophysical neutrinos with the AMANDA-II neutrino telescope

A. Achterberg

We report the results of a five-year survey of the northern sky to search for point sources of high energy neutrinos. The search was performed on the data collected with the AMANDA…

On the selection of AGN neutrino source candidates for a source stacking analysis with neutrino telescopes

A. Achterberg et al.

The sensitivity of a search for sources of TeV neutrinos can be improved by grouping potential sources together into generic classes in a procedure that is known as source stacking…
