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…

Results of the deepest all-sky survey for continuous gravitational waves on LIGO S6 data running on the Einstein@Home volunteer distributed computing project

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration

We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run. The search was possible thanks to the…
