Regression of Environmental Noise in LIGO Data
Vaibhav Tiwari, Marco Drago, Valery Frolov +8
We address the problem of noise regression in the output of gravitational-wave (GW) interferometers, using data from the physical environmental monitors (PEM). The objective of the…
Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma +231
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detec…
Prospects for intermediate mass black hole binary searches with advanced gravitational-wave detectors
G. Mazzolo, F. Salemi, M. Drago +8
We estimated the sensitivity of the upcoming advanced, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories (the upgraded LIGO and Virgo and the KAGRA interferometers) to coalescing inter…
Reconstruction of the gravitational wave signal during the Virgo science runs and independent validation with a photon calibrator
Virgo collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +193
The Virgo detector is a kilometer-scale interferometer for gravitational wave detection located near Pisa (Italy). About 13 months of data were accumulated during four science runs…
Scientific Objectives of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +222
The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detec…
Characterization of the Virgo Seismic Environment
The Virgo Collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +180
The Virgo gravitational wave detector is an interferometer (ITF) with 3km arms located in Pisa, Italy. From July to October 2010, Virgo performed its third science run (VSR3) in co…
Calibration and sensitivity of the Virgo detector during its second science run
The Virgo Collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +175
The Virgo detector is a kilometer-length interferometer for gravitational wave detection located near Pisa (Italy). During its second science run (VSR2) in 2009, six months of data…
Virgo calibration and reconstruction of the gravitational wave strain during VSR1
The Virgo collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +171
Virgo is a kilometer-length interferometer for gravitational waves detection located near Pisa. Its first science run, VSR1, occured from May to October 2007. The aims of the calib…
IGEC2: A 17-month search for gravitational wave bursts in 2005-2007
P. Astone, L. Baggio, M. Bassan +50
We present here the results of a 515 days long run of the IGEC2 observatory, consisting of the four resonant mass detectors ALLEGRO, AURIGA, EXPLORER and NAUTILUS. The reported res…
A Cross-correlation method to search for gravitational wave bursts with AURIGA and Virgo
AURIGA Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration
We present a method to search for transient GWs using a network of detectors with different spectral and directional sensitivities: the interferometer Virgo and the bar detector AU…
First joint Gravitational Waves search by the Auriga-Explorer-Nautilus-Virgo collaboration
Virgo collaboration
We present results of the search for coincident burst excitations over a 24 hours long data set collected by AURIGA, EXPLORER, NAUTILUS and Virgo detectors during September 2005. T…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
Towards a novel wave-extraction method for numerical relativity
Andrea Nerozzi, Marco Bruni, Lior M. Burko +1
We present the recent results of a research project aimed at constructing a robust wave extraction technique for numerical relativity. Our procedure makes use of Weyl scalars to ac…
Coherent searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: results from the second LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, pr…
Search for gravitational wave bursts in LIGO's third science run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts in data from the three LIGO interferometric detectors during their third science run. The search targets subsecond bursts in the…
