Calibration of the LIGO gravitational wave detectors in the fifth science run

J. Abadie, +554 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the calibration of the instruments in the S5 data set, including measurement techniques and uncertainty estimation, for the LIGO data set of the fifth science run (S5).
Journal ArticleDOI

Parameter estimation for compact binary coalescence signals with the first generation gravitational-wave detector network

J. Aasi, +896 more
- 04 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a selection of simulated signals added either in hardware or software to the data collected by the two LIGO instruments and the Virgo detector during their most recent joint science run, including a "blind injection" where the signal was not initially revealed to the collaboration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for gravitational waves from low mass binary coalescences in the first year of LIGO's S5 data

B. P. Abbott, +516 more
- 05 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors search for gravitational waves from coalescing low mass compact binary systems with a total mass between 2M and 35Mz-sun and a minimum component mass of 1M_([sun]) using data from the first year of the fifth science run of the three LIGO detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

First search for gravitational waves from known pulsars with advanced LIGO

B. P. Abbott, +1039 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of searches for gravitational waves from 200 pulsars using data from the first observing run of the Advanced LIGO detectors were presented, and they were able to set the most constraining upper limits yet on their gravitational-wave amplitudes and ellipticities.
Journal ArticleDOI

All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run

J. Abadie, +667 more
- 05 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented 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 2007.
