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…

A directed search for continuous Gravitational Waves from the Galactic Center

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +871

We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data fr…

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…

Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…

Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1319

We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years,…
