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…
Scientific Potential of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +138
Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope (ET) is a design study funded by the European Commission to explore the technological challenges of and scientific benefits from building a th…
Reducing Thermal Noise in Future Gravitational Wave Detectors by employing Khalili Etalons
Alexey G. Gurkovsky, Daniel Heiner, Stefan Hild +4
Reduction of thermal noise in dielectric mirror coatings is a key issue for the sensitivity improvement in second and third generation interferometric gravitational wave detectors.…
Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Vela pulsar
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +747
We present direct upper limits on continuous gravitational wave emission from the Vela pulsar using data from the Virgo detector's second science run. These upper limits have been…
Search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspiral, merger and ringdown
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +721
We present the first modeled search for gravitational waves using the complete binary black hole gravitational waveform from inspiral through the merger and ringdown for binaries w…
Reduction of coating thermal noise by using an etalon
Kentaro Somiya, Daniel Heinert, Alexey G. Gurkovsky +3
Reduction of coating thermal noise is a key issue in precise measurements with an optical interferometer. A good example of such a measurement device is a gravitational-wave detect…
