A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891
We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…
Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +867
In 2009-2010, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observa- tory (LIGO) operated together with international partners Virgo and GEO600 as a network to search for gravitation…
Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +894
In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In orde…
Searching for stochastic gravitational waves using data from the two co-located LIGO Hanford detectors
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +873
Searches for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using terrestrial detectors typically involve cross-correlating data from pairs of detectors. The sensitivity of such…
Global Optimization for Future Gravitational Wave Detectors' Sites
Yi-Ming Hu, Peter Raffai, Laszlo Gondan +5
We consider the optimal site selection of future generations of gravitational wave detectors. Previously, Raffai et al. optimized a 2-detector network with a combined figure of mer…
Efficient Exploration of Multi-Modal Posterior Distributions
Yi-Ming Hu, Martin Hendry, Ik Siong Heng
The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is a widely recognised as an efficient method for sampling a specified posterior distribution. However, when the posterior is multi-mo…
