Upper Limits on Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1 from a Model-Based Cross-Correlation Search in Advanced LIGO Data

B. P. Abbott, +1078 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run, was conducted over the frequency range 25-2000\,\mathrm{Hz}, spanning the current observationally constrained range of binary orbital parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detecting beyond-Einstein polarizations of continuous gravitational waves

TL;DR: In this article, a single detector measurement of a continuous gravitational wave from a triaxial pulsar source was performed and methods to detect signals of any polarization content and distinguish between them in a model-independent way were developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraints on Cosmic Strings Using Data from the Third Advanced LIGO–Virgo Observing Run

Richard J. Abbott, +1668 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset and obtain results for the first time that kink-kink collisions do not yield a detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications For The Origin Of GRB 051103 From LIGO Observations

J. Abadie, +569 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a LIGO search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with GRB 051103, a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose electromagnetic determined sky position is coincident with the spiral galaxy M81, which is 3.6 Mpc from Earth, were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data

B. P. Abbott, +510 more
- 09 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a search for gravitational waves from black hole ringdown in the fourth LIGO science run S4, during which the dominant mode of perturbed black holes with masses in the range of 10M to 500M⊙, the regime of intermediate-mass black holes to distances up to 300 Mpc.
