Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using LIGO S5 science data

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +712

The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distr…

Characterization of the Virgo Seismic Environment

The Virgo Collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +180

The Virgo gravitational wave detector is an interferometer (ITF) with 3km arms located in Pisa, Italy. From July to October 2010, Virgo performed its third science run (VSR3) in co…

Data analysis of gravitational-wave signals from spinning neutron stars. V. A narrow-band all-sky search

Pia Astone, Kazimierz M. Borkowski, Piotr Jaranowski +2

We present theory and algorithms to perform an all-sky coherent search for periodic signals of gravitational waves in narrow-band data of a detector. Our search is based on a stati…
