TL;DR: In this article, a special focus is set on evaluating the frequency band below 10 Hz where a complex mixture of seismic, gravity gradient, suspension thermal and radiation pressure noise dominates, including the most relevant fundamental noise contributions.

TL;DR: The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy, and there is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detectors that operate in a frequency range from 1 Hz to 10 kHz, with sensitivity a factor 10 better in amplitude as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy, and there is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detectors that operate in a frequency range from 1 Hz-10 kHz, with sensitivity a factor ten better in amplitude as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1000 Hz with the first derivative of frequency in the range −8.9 × 10−10 Hz s−1 to zero in two years of data collected during LIGO's fifth science run is reported.
