Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…

Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873

Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…

Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875

Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…

Investigating the effect of precession on searches for neutron-star-black-hole binaries with Advanced LIGO

I. W. Harry, A. H. Nitz, Duncan A. Brown +3

The first direct detection of neutron-star-black-hole binaries will likely be made with gravitational-wave observatories. Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo will be able to observe n…

Accuracy of gravitational waveform models for observing neutron-star--black-hole binaries in Advanced LIGO

Alexander H. Nitz, Andrew Lundgren, Duncan A. Brown +3

Gravitational waves radiated by the coalescence of compact-object binaries containing a neutron star and a black hole are one of the most interesting sources for the ground-based g…

The Physics of the Far Future

Ruxandra Bondarescu, Andrew P. Lundgren, Mihai Bondarescu

We observe the past and present of the universe, but can we predict the far future? Observations suggest that in thousands of billions of years from now most matter and radiation w…
