TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the Advanced LIGO second observation run; they search for 2-500 s duration in the 24-2048 Hz frequency band with minimal assumptions about signal properties such as waveform morphologies, polarization, sky location or time of occurrence.

TL;DR: In this article, a directed search for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science run was described, where the target was the nearby globular cluster NGC 6544 at a distance of 2.7 kpc.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run and set the most stringent upper limits to date on the amplitude of gravitational wave signals from the target population.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanical loss of these resonators and found experimentally that the loss angle dependence on the mode is not trivial but rather follow a distribution of modes into families, which is able to justify the existence of these families and to predict the level of losses in silicon, silica and brass discs.
