Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +747

We present direct upper limits on continuous gravitational wave emission from the Vela pulsar using data from the Virgo detector's second science run. These upper limits have been…

Search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspiral, merger and ringdown

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +721

We present the first modeled search for gravitational waves using the complete binary black hole gravitational waveform from inspiral through the merger and ringdown for binaries w…

Sensitivity Studies for Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Observatories

S. Hild, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +136

Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a…

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…
