All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…

First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050

We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…

All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 20-475 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0, +0.1]e-8 Hz/s. Such a si…

First low-frequency Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Advanced LIGO data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1039

We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run. This search investigates…

Effects of transients in LIGO suspensions on searches for gravitational waves

M. Walker, T. D. Abbott, S. M. Aston +200

This paper presents an analysis of the transient behavior of the Advanced LIGO suspensions used to seismically isolate the optics. We have characterized the transients in the longi…

Quantum correlation measurements in interferometric gravitational wave detectors

D. V. Martynov, V. V. Frolov, S. Kandhasamy +199

Quantum fluctuations in the phase and amplitude quadratures of light set limitations on the sensitivity of modern optical instruments. The sensitivity of the interferometric gravit…

Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO's first observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +993

We employ gravitational-wave radiometry to map the gravitational waves stochastic background expected from a variety of contributing mechanisms and test the assumption of isotropy…
