Advanced LIGO detector performance in the fourth observing run
E. Capote, W. Jia, N. Aritomi +193
On May 24th, 2023, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), joined by the Advanced Virgo and KAGRA detectors, began the fourth observing run for a t…
All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369
Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…
GW170608: Observation of a 19-solar-mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1101
On June 8, 2017 at 02:01:16.49 UTC, a gravitational-wave signal from the merger of two stellar-mass black holes was observed by the two Advanced LIGO detectors with a network signa…
GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW1…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 20-475 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0, +0.1]e-8 Hz/s. Such a si…
Exploring the Sensitivity of Next Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +720
The second-generation of gravitational-wave detectors are just starting operation, and have already yielding their first detections. Research is now concentrated on how to maximize…
