Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992

A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986

We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…

Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts During the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run and Implications for the Origin of GRB 150906B

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, IPN Collaboration +1002

We present the results of the search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with -ray bursts detected during the first observing run of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravi…

Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999

Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…

Detecting gravitational-wave memory with LIGO: implications of GW150914

Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane, Yuri Levin +2

It may soon be possible for Advanced LIGO to detect hundreds of binary black hole mergers per year. We show how the accumulation of many such measurements will allow for the detect…
