Search for continuous gravitational waves: Improving robustness versus instrumental artifacts

David Keitel, Reinhard Prix, Maria Alessandra Papa +2

The standard multidetector F-statistic for continuous gravitational waves is susceptible to false alarms from instrumental artifacts, for example monochromatic sinusoidal disturban…

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…

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…

Octahedron configuration for a displacement noise-cancelling gravitational wave detector in space

Yan Wang, David Keitel, Stanislav Babak +10

We study for the first time a three-dimensional octahedron constellation for a space-based gravitational wave detector, which we call the Octahedral Gravitational Observatory (OGO)…

Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1319

We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years,…
