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…

First LIGO search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic (super)strings

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a matched-filter search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic string cusps using LIGO data from the fourth science run (S4) which took place in February and March…

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…
