Unconstrained hyperboloidal evolution of black holes in spherical symmetry with GBSSN and Z4c

Alex Vañó-Viñuales, Sascha Husa

We consider unconstrained evolution schemes for the hyperboloidal initial value problem in numerical relativity as a promising candidate for the optimally efficient numerical treat…

Spherical symmetry as a test case for unconstrained hyperboloidal evolution

Alex Vañó-Viñuales, Sascha Husa, David Hilditch

We consider the hyperboloidal initial value problem in numerical relativity, motivated by the goal to evolve radiating compact objects such as black hole binaries with a numerical…

A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891

We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…

Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +867

In 2009-2010, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observa- tory (LIGO) operated together with international partners Virgo and GEO600 as a network to search for gravitation…

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…

Gravitational-wave observations of binary black holes: Effect of non-quadrupole modes

Vijay Varma, Parameswaran Ajith, Sascha Husa +3

We study the effect of non-quadrupolar modes in the detection and parameter estimation of gravitational waves (GWs) from non-spinning black-hole binaries. We evaluate the loss of s…

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…

First all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown sources in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +849

We present the first results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown spinning neutron stars in binary systems using LIGO and Virgo data. Using a specia…
