Utilizing aLIGO Glitch Classifications to Validate Gravitational-Wave Candidates
Derek Davis, Laurel V. White, Peter R. Saulson
Advanced LIGO data contains numerous noise transients, or "glitches", that have been shown to reduce the sensitivity of matched filter searches for gravitational waves from compact…
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 hierarchical method for vetoing noise transients in gravitational-wave detectors
Joshua R Smith, Thomas Abbott, Eiichi Hirose +5
Non-Gaussian noise transients in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors increase the background in searches for short-duration and un-modelled signals. We describe a method f…
Angular instability due to radiation pressure in the LIGO gravitational wave detector
Eiichi Hirose, Keita Kawabe, Daniel Sigg +2
We observed the effect of radiation pressure on the angular sensing and control system of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) interferometer's core optic…
The LSC Glitch Group : Monitoring Noise Transients during the fifth LIGO Science Run
L. Blackburn, L. Cadonati, S. Caride +33
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) glitch group is part of the LIGO detector characterization effort. It consists of data analysts and detector experts who, during and after s…
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…
