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…

Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2

We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…

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…

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…

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…
