Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042
Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…
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…
GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1107
On August 14, 2017 at 10:30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coales…
First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050
We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…
Upper Limits on Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1 from a Model-Based Cross-Correlation Search in Advanced LIGO Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1046
We present the results of a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing ru…
First search for gravitational waves from known pulsars with Advanced LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1002
We present the result of searches for gravitational waves from 200 pulsars using data from the first observing run of the Advanced LIGO detectors. We find no significant evidence f…
