Cross-correlation search for continuous gravitational waves from a compact object in SNR 1987A in LIGO Science Run 5

L. Sun, A. Melatos, P. D. Lasky +2

We present the results of a cross-correlation search for gravitational waves from SNR 1987A using the second year of LIGO Science Run 5 data. The frequency band 75--450\,Hz is sear…

Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…

A First Search for coincident Gravitational Waves and High Energy Neutrinos using LIGO, Virgo and ANTARES data from 2007

The ANTARES Collaboration, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +959

We present the results of the first search for gravitational wave bursts associated with high energy neutrinos. Together, these messengers could reveal new, hidden sources that are…

The characterization of Virgo data and its impact on gravitational-wave searches

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +798

Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phen…
