GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149
On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…
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…
A directed search for continuous Gravitational Waves from the Galactic Center
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +871
We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data fr…
Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +801
Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich i…
Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…
All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
We present results from an all-sky search for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO, GEO 600 and Virgo detectors between November 2006 and October 2…
Search for High Frequency Gravitational Wave Bursts in the First Calendar Year of LIGO's Fifth Science Run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We present an all-sky search for gravitational waves in the frequency range 1 to 6 kHz during the first calendar year of LIGO's fifth science run. This is the first untriggered LIG…
