Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the no-hair theorem with black hole ringdowns using TIGER
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the no-hair theorem can be tested with events at much larger distances and with smaller signal-to-noise ratios, thus accessing a far bigger volume of space and a larger number of sources.

TL;DR: Directed searches for narrowband gravitational waves from astrophysically interesting objects yield median frequency-dependent limits on strain amplitude at the most sensitive detector frequencies between 130-175 Hz, which represents a mean improvement of a factor of 2 across the band compared to previous searches of this kind.
