Directional Search for Persistent Gravitational Waves: Results from the First Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1765

The angular distribution of gravitational-wave power from persistent sources may exhibit anisotropies arising from the large-scale structure of the Universe. This motivates directi…

GW250114: testing Hawking's area law and the Kerr nature of black holes

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1785

The gravitational-wave signal GW250114 was observed by the two LIGO detectors with a network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 80. The signal was emitted by the coalescence o…

Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with a hidden Markov model in O3 LIGO data

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

Results are presented for a semi-coherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to allow for spin…

Searching for stochastic gravitational waves using data from the two co-located LIGO Hanford detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +873

Searches for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using terrestrial detectors typically involve cross-correlating data from pairs of detectors. The sensitivity of such…
