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]\…
GW150914: Implications for the stochastic gravitational wave background from binary black holes
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The LIGO detection of the gravitational wave transient GW150914, from the inspiral and merger of two black holes with masses , suggests a population of…
GW150914: The Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Era of First Discoveries
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
Following a major upgrade, the two advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) held their first observation run between September 2015 and…
A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers
J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920
We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…
