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…

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…
