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…
An improved effective-one-body model of spinning, nonprecessing binary black holes for the era of gravitational-wave astrophysics with advanced detectors
Alejandro Bohé, Lijing Shao, Andrea Taracchini +17
We improve the accuracy of the effective-one-body (EOB) waveforms that were employed during the first observing run of Advanced LIGO for binaries of spinning, nonprecessing black h…
Binary Black Hole Mergers in the first Advanced LIGO Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +972
The first observational run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, saw the first detections of gravitational waves from binary black hole merg…
Accuracy of binary black hole waveform models for aligned-spin binaries
Prayush Kumar, Tony Chu, Heather Fong +6
Coalescing binary black holes are among the primary science targets for second generation ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Reliable GW models are central to detectio…
