All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…

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…

Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in globular cluster NGC 6544

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +953

We describe a directed search for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science run. The target was the nearby globular cluster NGC 6544 at a distance of 2.7 k…

A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920

We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…
