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 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…

A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499

The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…

First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537

We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…

Accurate calibration of test mass displacement in the LIGO interferometers

E. Goetz, R. L. Savage, J. Garofoli +10

We describe three fundamentally different methods we have applied to calibrate the test mass displacement actuators to search for systematic errors in the calibration of the LIGO g…
