Full Band All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0e-8, +1e-9] Hz/s. Pot…

Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042

Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…

First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050

We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…

Upper Limits on Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1 from a Model-Based Cross-Correlation Search in Advanced LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1046

We present the results of a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing ru…

FSR0190 - Another old distant galactic cluster

D. Froebrich, H. Meusinger, C. J. Davis

We are conducting a large program to classify newly discovered Milky Way star cluster candidates from Froebrich et al. (2007). Here we present NIR follow-up observations of FSR0190…
