Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…
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…
Calibration of Advanced Virgo and Reconstruction of the Gravitational Wave Signal h(t) during the Observing Run O2
Virgo Collaboration, F. Acernese, T. Adams +281
In August 2017, Advanced Virgo joined Advanced LIGO for the end of the O2 run, leading to the first gravitational waves detections with the three-detector network. This paper descr…
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…
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…
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…
Search for gravitational waves associated with GRB 050915a using the Virgo detector
The Virgo collaboration
In the framework of the expected association between gamma-ray bursts and gravitational waves, we present results of an analysis aimed to search for a burst of gravitational waves…
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…
Status of VIRGO
A. Freise
The French-Italian interferometric gravitational wave detector VIRGO is currently being commissioned. Its principal instrument is a Michelson interferometer with 3 km long optical…
