Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum correlations between the light and kilogram-mass mirrors of LIGO

Haocun Yu, +198 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the quantum mechanical uncertainties in the phases of the 200 kW laser beams and in the positions of the 40 kg mirrors of the Advanced LIGO detectors yield a joint quantum uncertainty a factor of 1.4 (3dB) below the standard quantum limit.
Journal ArticleDOI

First targeted search for gravitational-wave bursts from core-collapse supernovae in data of first-generation laser interferometer detectors

B. P. Abbott, +995 more
- 15 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts coincident with a set of two core-collapse supernovae observed between 2007 and 2011, and present the probability of detecting signals from both astrophysically well-motivated and more speculative gravitational wave emission mechanisms as a function of distance from Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run

B. P. Abbott, +1000 more
- 16 Feb 2017 - 
TL;DR: The results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January 2016 are presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for Gravitational Waves from a Long-lived Remnant of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

B. P. Abbott, +1225 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisited the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 and focused on longer signal durations, up until the end of the second Advanced LIGO-Virgo observing run, which was 8.5 days after the coalescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-latency Gravitational-wave Alerts for Multimessenger Astronomy during the Second Advanced LIGO and Virgo Observing Run

B. P. Abbott, +1209 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the online identification of gravitational wave transients and the distribution of gravitational-wave alerts by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations during O2 and give an overview of the online candidate alerts shared with observing partners.
