Journal ArticleDOI

The basic physics of the binary black hole merger GW150914

B. P. Abbott, +953 more
TL;DR: In this article, features of the signal visible in the data are analyzed using concepts from Newtonian physics and general relativity, accessible to anyone with a general physics background, consistent with the fully general-relativistic analyses published elsewhere, showing that the signal was produced by the inspiral and subsequent merger of two black holes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The characterization of Virgo data and its impact on gravitational-wave searches

J. Aasi, +800 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present examples from the joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo GW searches to show how well noise transients and narrow spectral lines have been identified and excluded from the Virgo data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Searches for continuous gravitational waves from nine young supernova remnants

J. Aasi, +889 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science data run, where the targets were nine young supernova remnants not associated with pulsars; eight of the remnants are associated with non-pulsing suspected neutron stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Directed search for continuous gravitational waves from the Galactic center

J. Aasi, +887 more
- 18 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data from LIGO's fifth science run from two LAS detectors, were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Publisher’s Note: Search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspiral, merger, and ringdown

J. Abadie, +721 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the state-of-the-art work in this area, including the following: A.A. Adhikari, P.B. Abadie, B.Babak, A.C. Anderson, W.M. Brandes, M.Barriga, E.C., A.B., C.C, C.Chaibi, O.Chakrabarty, O'Brien, O.'Brien, S.Capellaro, O 'Brien, T.
