A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891
We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…
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…
Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma +231
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detec…
Improved Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +846
Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughou…
Testing the no-hair theorem with black hole ringdowns using TIGER
J. Meidam, M. Agathos, C. Van Den Broeck +2
The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed third-generation gravitational wave observatory, would enable tests of the no-hair theorem by looking at the characteristic frequencies and…
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…
