The characterization of Virgo data and its impact on gravitational-wave searches

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +798

Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phen…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796

We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…
