Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

B. P. Abbott, +1011 more
TL;DR: This is the first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger, and these observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gravitational wave observatory operating beyond the quantum shot-noise limit

J. Abadie, +614 more
- 11 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the squeezed-light enhancement of GEO600, which will be the GW observatory operated by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in its search for GWs for the next 3-4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced sensitivity of the LIGO gravitational wave detector by using squeezed states of light

J. Aasi, +748 more
- 01 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors inject squeezed states to improve the performance of one of the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) beyond the quantum noise limit, most notably in the frequency region down to 150 Hz.
Journal ArticleDOI

First All-Sky Search for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Unknown Sources in Binary Systems

J. Aasi, +849 more
- 15 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the first results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown spinning neutron stars in binary systems using LIGO and Virgo data were presented, using a specially developed analysis program, the TwoSpect algorithm.

Sensitivity Achieved by the LIGO and Virgo Gravitational Wave Detectors during LIGO's Sixth and Virgo's Second and Third Science Runs

J. Abadie, +797 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the sensitivity achieved by the LIGO and Virgo detectors for low-mass compact binary coalescence (CBC) searches during the LigO's sixth science run and the Virgo's second and third science runs.
