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…
Seismic topographic scattering in the context of GW detector site selection
Michael Coughlin, Jan Harms
In this paper, we present a calculation of seismic scattering from irregular surface topography in the Born approximation. Based on US-wide topographic data, we investigate topogra…
Identification of noise artifacts in searches for long-duration gravitational-wave transients
Tanner Prestegard, Eric Thrane, Nelson L. Christensen +5
We present an algorithm for the identification of transient noise artifacts (glitches) in cross-correlation searches for long O(10s) gravitational-wave transients. The algorithm ut…
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…
Characterization of the Virgo Seismic Environment
The Virgo Collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +180
The Virgo gravitational wave detector is an interferometer (ITF) with 3km arms located in Pisa, Italy. From July to October 2010, Virgo performed its third science run (VSR3) in co…
Identification of long-duration noise transients in LIGO and Virgo
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, Michael W. Coughlin
The LIGO and Virgo detectors are sensitive to a variety of noise sources, such as instrumental artifacts and environmental disturbances. The Stochastic Transient Analysis Multi-det…
