All-sky search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1772

We present an all-sky search for long-duration gravitational waves (GWs) from the first part of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run (O4), called O4a and comprising data taken…

All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369

Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…

First narrow-band search for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars in advanced detector data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1096

Spinning neutron stars asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis are potential sources of continuous gravitational waves for ground-based interferometric detectors. In the cas…

All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 20-475 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0, +0.1]e-8 Hz/s. Such a si…
