LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
Application of the Hilbert-Huang Transform to the Search for Gravitational Waves
Jordan B. Camp, John K. Cannizzo, Kenji Numata
We present the application of a novel method of time-series analysis, the Hilbert-Huang Transform, to the search for gravitational waves. This algorithm is adaptive and does not im…
Report on the first round of the Mock LISA Data Challenges
K. A. Arnaud, G. Auger, S. Babak +42
The Mock LISA Data Challenges (MLDCs) have the dual purpose of fostering the development of LISA data analysis tools and capabilities, and demonstrating the technical readiness alr…
Coherent searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: results from the second LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, pr…
Measurement of the mechanical loss of a cooled reflective coating for gravitational wave detection
Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Shinji Miyoki, Takashi Uchiyama +13
We have measured the mechanical loss of a dielectric multilayer reflective coating (ion-beam sputtered SiO and TaO) in cooled mirrors. The loss was nearly independent o…
Frequency and surface dependence of the mechanical loss in fused silica
Steven D. Penn, Alexander Ageev, Dan Busby +4
We have compiled measurements of the mechanical loss in fused silica from samples spanning a wide range of geometries and resonant frequency in order to model the known variation o…
Observation results by the TAMA300 detector on gravitational wave bursts from stellar-core collapses
Masaki Ando, Koji Arai, Youichi Aso +19
We present data-analysis schemes and results of observations with the TAMA300 gravitational-wave detector, targeting burst signals from stellar-core collapse events. In analyses fo…
Systematic measurement of the intrinsic losses in various kinds of bulk fused silica
K. Numata, K. Yamamoto, H. Ishimoto +4
We systematically measured and compared the mechanical losses of various kinds of bulk fused silica. Their quality factors ranged widely from 7x10^5 to 4x10^7, the latter being one…
