All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…

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…

Upper limit map of a background of gravitational waves

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We searched for an anisotropic background of gravitational waves using data from the LIGO S4 science run and a method that is optimized for point sources. This is appropriate if, f…

Detector Description and Performance for the First Coincidence Observations between LIGO and GEO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

For 17 days in August and September 2002, the LIGO and GEO interferometer gravitational wave detectors were operated in coincidence to produce their first data for scientific analy…
