Methods and results of a search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts using the GEO 600, LIGO, and Virgo detectors

J. Aasi, +913 more
- 25 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a linear search grid to analyse GRB events with large sky localisation uncertainties such as the localisations provided by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from 15 Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO

B. P. Abbott, +1210 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves (GWs) from 16 well-localized candidate neutron stars, assuming none of the stars has a binary companion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Fifteen Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO

B. P. Abbott, +1129 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from sixteen well localized candidate neutron stars assuming none of the stars has a binary companion, and set upper limits on intrinsic gravitational wave strain as strict as $1\times10^{-25}, on fiducial neutron star ellipticity as strong as $2\times 10^{-9}, and on fiducial $r$-mode amplitude as tight as $3 \times 10-8}.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validating gravitational-wave detections: The advanced LIGO hardware injection system

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the hardware injection system and the recovery of injected signals representing binary black hole merging, a stochastic gravitational wave background, spinning neutron stars, and sine-Gaussians.
Journal ArticleDOI

Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data

J. Aasi, +911 more
- 21 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data are presented.
