Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796

We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…

All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…

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…

Toward an optimal search strategy of optical and gravitational wave emissions from binary neutron star coalescence

D. M. Coward, B. Gendre, P. J. Sutton +6

Observations of an optical source coincident with gravitational wave emission detected from a binary neutron star coalescence will improve the confidence of detection, provide host…

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…

Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Coalescing Binary Black Holes

Xing-Jiang Zhu, Eric Howell, Tania Regimbau +2

We estimate the stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background signal from the field population of coalescing binary stellar mass black holes (BHs) throughout the Universe. This stu…
