Sensitivity to Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescences Achieved during LIGO's Fifth and Virgo's First Science Run

J. Abadie, +707 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the sensitivity achieved by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors for compact binary coalescence (CBC) searches during the fifth science run and the first science run.

Brownian force noise from molecular collisions and the sensitivity of advanced gravitational wave observatories

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the impact of residual gas damping on the sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO interferometric gravitational wave observatory is presented, where the relevant test mass is a suspended 340 mm diameter cylindrical end mirror, and the force noise power is increased by roughly a factor 40 by the presence of a similarly shaped reaction mass at a nominal separation of 5 mm.

Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run

J. Aasi, +876 more
TL;DR: In this article, an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1000 Hz with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-10}$ Hz/s to zero in two years of data collected during LIGO's fifth science run.

Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift During the LIGO-Virgo Run O3a

Richard J. Abbott, +1250 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo.
