Full Band All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0e-8, +1e-9] Hz/s. Pot…

A Search for Tensor, Vector, and Scalar Polarizations in the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1097

The detection of gravitational waves with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo has enabled novel tests of general relativity, including direct study of the polarization of gravitationa…

Identification and mitigation of narrow spectral artifacts that degrade searches for persistent gravitational waves in the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO

P. B. Covas, A. Effler, E. Goetz +260

Searches are under way in Advanced LIGO and Virgo data for persistent gravitational waves from continuous sources, e.g. rapidly rotating galactic neutron stars, and stochastic sour…

Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO's first observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +993

We employ gravitational-wave radiometry to map the gravitational waves stochastic background expected from a variety of contributing mechanisms and test the assumption of isotropy…

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…

Limiting the effects of earthquakes on gravitational-wave interferometers

Michael Coughlin, Paul Earle, Jan Harms +9

Ground-based gravitational wave interferometers such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) are susceptible to high-magnitude teleseismic events, which c…
