Application of a Zero-latency Whitening Filter to Compact Binary Coalescence Gravitational-wave Searches

Leo Tsukada, Kipp Cannon, Chad Hanna +3

Joint electromagnetic and gravitational-wave (GW) observation is a major goal of both the GW astronomy and electromagnetic astronomy communities for the coming decade. One way to a…

Analysis Framework for the Prompt Discovery of Compact Binary Mergers in Gravitational-wave Data

Cody Messick, Kent Blackburn, Patrick Brady +24

We describe a stream-based analysis pipeline to detect gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and neutron-star-black-hole binaries within…

The PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence

Samantha A. Usman, Alexander H. Nitz, Ian W. Harry +18

We describe the PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact-object binary coalescences in advanced gravitational-wave detector data. The search was used in the first Advanced…

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…

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…
