First measurements of high frequency cross-spectra from a pair of large Michelson interferometers

Aaron S. Chou, Richard Gustafson, Craig Hogan +10

Measurements are reported of the cross-correlation of spectra of differential position signals from the Fermilab Holometer, a pair of co-located 39 m long, high power Michelson int…

Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…

The Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Detector

S. J. Waldman

The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors will be installed starting in 2011, with completion scheduled for 2015. The new detectors will improve the strain sensitivity of curr…

A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499

The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…

First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537

We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…

All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

We present results from an all-sky search for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO, GEO 600 and Virgo detectors between November 2006 and October 2…
