Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using LIGO S5 science data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +712
The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distr…

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…

A Cross-correlation method to search for gravitational wave bursts with AURIGA and Virgo
AURIGA Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration
We present a method to search for transient GWs using a network of detectors with different spectral and directional sensitivities: the interferometer Virgo and the bar detector AU…
