Searching for stochastic gravitational waves using data from the two co-located LIGO Hanford detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +873

Searches for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using terrestrial detectors typically involve cross-correlating data from pairs of detectors. The sensitivity of such…

First all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown sources in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +849

We present the first results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown spinning neutron stars in binary systems using LIGO and Virgo data. Using a specia…

Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +847

This paper reports on an unmodeled, all-sky search for gravitational waves from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHB). The search was performed on data from the sec…

Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed intermediate mass black holes in LIGO-Virgo data from 2005-2010

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +849

We report results from a search for gravitational waves produced by perturbed intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in data collected by LIGO and Virgo between 2005 and 2010. The se…

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…

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…
