TL;DR: A search for the stochastic background with the latest data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors shows no evidence of a stochastically gravitational-wave signal, and the limits in these four bands are the lowest direct measurements to date on the stoChastic background.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a search for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of binary black holes with total mass between 25 and 100 solar masses, in data taken at the LIGO and Virgo observatories between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-latency analysis pipeline was used to identify and localize GW event candidates and to request images of targeted sky locations, where a catalog of nearby galaxies and Milky Way globular clusters were used to select the most promising sky positions to be imaged.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors perform Bayesian model selection on a wide range of theoretical predictions for the neutron star equation of state, and find that all scenarios from prompt collapse to long-lived or even stable remnants are possible.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range [50, 1190] Hz and with frequency derivative range of similar to [-20, 1.1] x 10(-10) Hz s(-1) for the fifth LIGO science run (S5) are presented.
