Search for transient gravitational waves in coincidence with short duration radio transients during 2007-2013
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, others +999
We present an archival search for transient gravitational-wave bursts in coincidence with 27 single pulse triggers from Green Bank Telescope pulsar surveys, using the LIGO, Virgo a…
Directly comparing GW150914 with numerical solutions of Einstein's equations for binary black hole coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +979
We compare GW150914 directly to simulations of coalescing binary black holes in full general relativity, accounting for all the spin-weighted quadrupolar modes, and separately acco…
Analysis Framework for the Prompt Discovery of Compact Binary Mergers in Gravitational-wave Data
Cody Messick, Kent Blackburn, Patrick Brady +24
We describe a stream-based analysis pipeline to detect gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and neutron-star-black-hole binaries within…
GW150914: The Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Era of First Discoveries
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
Following a major upgrade, the two advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) held their first observation run between September 2015 and…
Observing gravitational-wave transient GW150914 with minimal assumptions
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The gravitational-wave signal GW150914 was first identified on Sept 14 2015 by searches for short-duration gravitational-wave transients. These searches identify time-correlated tr…
