Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma +231

Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detec…

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…

Improved Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +846

Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughou…

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…

Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +847

This paper reports on an unmodeled, all-sky search for gravitational waves from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHB). The search was performed on data from the sec…

A sub nrad beam pointing monitoring and stabilization system for controlling input beam jitter in GW interferometers

Benjamin Canuel, Eric Genin, Maddalena Mantovani +3

In this paper a simple and very effective control system to monitor and suppress the beam jitter noise at the input of an optical system, called Beam Pointing Control (BPC) system,…
