Upper limits on the rates of binary neutron star and neutron-star--black-hole mergers from Advanced LIGO's first observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +958

We report here the non-detection of gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron star systems and neutron-star--black-hole systems during the first observing run of Advanc…

The Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers Inferred from Advanced LIGO Observations Surrounding GW150914

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +964

A transient gravitational-wave signal, GW150914, was identified in the twin Advanced LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC. To assess the implications of this discov…

Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +887

We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science data run. The targets were nine young supernova remnants not associated with pu…

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…

Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…
