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…

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…

Implications for the Origin of GRB 070201 from LIGO Observations

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, K. Hurley

We analyzed the available LIGO data coincident with GRB 070201, a short duration hard spectrum gamma-ray burst whose electromagnetically determined sky position is coincident with…

Search for gravitational waves from binary inspirals in S3 and S4 LIGO data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of compact binaries during the third and fourth LIGO science runs. The search focused on gravitational waves gene…
