Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…
TIGER: A data analysis pipeline for testing the strong-field dynamics of general relativity with gravitational wave signals from coalescing compact binaries
Michalis Agathos, Walter Del Pozzo, Tjonnie G. F. Li +3
The direct detection of gravitational waves with upcoming second-generation gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Virgo will allow us to probe the genuinely strong…
Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…
Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…
Demonstrating the feasibility of probing the neutron star equation of state with second-generation gravitational wave detectors
Walter Del Pozzo, Tjonnie G. F. Li, Michalis Agathos +2
Fisher matrix and related studies have suggested that with second-generation gravitational wave detectors, it may be possible to infer the equation of state of neutron stars using…
Testing general relativity using gravitational waves from binary neutron stars: Effect of spins
Michalis Agathos, Walter Del Pozzo, Tjonnie G. F. Li +3
We present a Bayesian data analysis pipeline for testing GR using gravitational wave signals from coalescing compact binaries, and in particular binary neutron stars. In this study…
