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…

Search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspiral, merger and ringdown
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +721
We present the first modeled search for gravitational waves using the complete binary black hole gravitational waveform from inspiral through the merger and ringdown for binaries w…
