Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +867

In 2009-2010, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observa- tory (LIGO) operated together with international partners Virgo and GEO600 as a network to search for gravitation…

Searching for stochastic gravitational waves using data from the two co-located LIGO Hanford detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +873

Searches for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using terrestrial detectors typically involve cross-correlating data from pairs of detectors. The sensitivity of such…

Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…

Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873

Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…

Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Binary Black Hole Inspiral, Merger and Ringdown in LIGO-Virgo Data from 2009-2010

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +800

We report a search for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of binary black holes (BBH) with total mass between 25 and 100 solar masses, in data taken at the…
