LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+

L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153

We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…

Search for lensing signatures in the gravitational-wave observations from the first half of LIGO-Virgo's third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1378

We search for signatures of gravitational lensing in the gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during O3a, the fi…

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…
