Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +867

In 2009-2010, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observa- tory (LIGO) operated together with international partners Virgo and GEO600 as a network to search for gravitation…

Improved methods for detecting gravitational waves associated with short gamma-ray bursts

A. R. Williamson, C. Biwer, S. Fairhurst +4

In the era of second generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors, short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) will be among the most promising astrophysical events for joint electromagn…

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…

Prospects for joint gravitational wave and short gamma-ray burst observations

J. Clark, H. Evans, S. Fairhurst +5

We present a detailed evaluation of the expected rate of joint gravitational-wave and short gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations over the coming years. We begin by evaluating the imp…

Methods and results of a search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts using the GEO600, LIGO, and Virgo detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +889

In this paper we report on a search for short-duration gravitational wave bursts in the frequency range 64 Hz-1792 Hz associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), using data from GEO60…

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…
