Einstein@Home all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S5 data

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +794

This paper presents results of an all-sky searches for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range [50, 1190] Hz and with frequency derivative ranges of [-2 x 10^-9, 1.1 x…

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…

Implications For The Origin Of GRB 051103 From LIGO Observations

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +568

We present the results of a LIGO search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with GRB 051103, a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose electromagnetically det…

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…

All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…

Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using LIGO S5 science data

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +712

The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distr…
