Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992

A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986

We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…

Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999

Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…

Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in globular cluster NGC 6544

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +953

We describe a directed search for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science run. The target was the nearby globular cluster NGC 6544 at a distance of 2.7 k…

Binary Black Hole Mergers in the first Advanced LIGO Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +972

The first observational run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, saw the first detections of gravitational waves from binary black hole merg…

Comprehensive All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Sixth Science Run LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +959

We report on a comprehensive all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 100-1500 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of $[-1.18, +1.00]\…
