LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run

S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232

Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Observing Runs

D. Davis, J. S. Areeda, B. K. Berger +284

The characterization of the Advanced LIGO detectors in the second and third observing runs has increased the sensitivity of the instruments, allowing for a higher number of detecta…

All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369

Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186

We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…

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,…

All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the second joint LIGO-Virgo run

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +786

We present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO and Virgo detectors between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010: data are analyzed wh…
