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

A general approach to optomechanical parametric instabilities

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple feedback description of parametric instabilities is presented, which can be applied to a variety of optical systems and is of particular interest to the field of gravitational-wave interferometry where high mechanical quality factors and a large amount of stored optical power have the potential for instability.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stacked search for gravitational waves from the 2006 SGR 1900+14 Storm

B. P. Abbott, +512 more
TL;DR: The results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with the 2006 March 29 SGR 1900+14 storm are presented in this paper.
