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…
Prospects for intermediate mass black hole binary searches with advanced gravitational-wave detectors
G. Mazzolo, F. Salemi, M. Drago +8
We estimated the sensitivity of the upcoming advanced, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories (the upgraded LIGO and Virgo and the KAGRA interferometers) to coalescing inter…
Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801
Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…
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…
Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts during LIGO science run 6 and Virgo science runs 2 and 3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +807
We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 154 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-ray experiments in 2009-2010, dur…
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…
