Search for gravitational-wave transients associated with magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo data from the third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1667

Gravitational waves are expected to be produced from neutron star oscillations associated with magnetar giant flares and short bursts. We present the results of a search for short-…

All-sky search for gravitational wave emission from scalar boson clouds around spinning black holes in LIGO O3 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1669

This paper describes the first all-sky search for long-duration, quasi-monochromatic gravitational-wave signals emitted by ultralight scalar boson clouds around spinning black hole…

Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift During the LIGO-Virgo Run O3a

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1250

We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced…

Search for transient gravitational wave signals associated with magnetar bursts during Advanced LIGO's second observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129

We present the results of a search for short and intermediate-duration gravitational-wave signals from four magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGO's second observing run. We find no evid…

Estimating the Contribution of Dynamical Ejecta in the Kilonova Associated with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1100

The source of the gravitational-wave signal GW170817, very likely a binary neutron star merger, was also observed electromagnetically, providing the first multi-messenger observati…

Upper Limits on Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1 from a Model-Based Cross-Correlation Search in Advanced LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1046

We present the results of a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing ru…

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…

Search for gravitational-wave inspiral signals associated with short Gamma-Ray Bursts during LIGO's fifth and Virgo's first science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +665

Progenitor scenarios for short gamma-ray bursts (short GRBs) include coalescenses of two neutron stars or a neutron star and black hole, which would necessarily be accompanied by t…

Searches for gravitational waves from known pulsars with S5 LIGO data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +678

We present a search for gravitational waves from 116 known millisecond and young pulsars using data from the fifth science run of the LIGO detectors. For this search ephemerides ov…
