Journal ArticleDOI

Implementation and testing of the first prompt search for gravitational wave transients with electromagnetic counterparts

J. Abadie, +901 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a low-latency analysis pipeline was used to identify and localize GW event candidates and to reconstruct maps of possible sky locations, and a catalog of nearby galaxies and Milky Way globular clusters were used to select the most promising sky positions to be imaged.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for gravitational-wave inspiral signals associated with short gamma-ray bursts during LIGO'S fifth and Virgo's first science run

J. Abadie, +681 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors search for known gravitational-wave signatures in temporal and directional coincidence with 22 short gamma-ray bursts (shortGRBs) that had sufficient gravitationalwave data available in multiple instruments during LIGO's fifth science run,============S5, and Virgo's first science run VSR1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for Tensor, Vector, and Scalar Polarizations in the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

B. P. Abbott, +1143 more
TL;DR: Using data recorded by Advanced LIGO during its first observing run, no evidence for a background of any polarization is found, and the first direct bounds on the contributions of vector and scalar polarizations to the stochastic background are placed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for gravitational waves from low mass compact binary coalescence in 186 days of LIGO's fifth science run

B. P. Abbott, +512 more
- 25 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: The LIGO cumulative 90%-confidence rate upper limits of the binary coalescence of neutron stars, black holes, and black hole-neutron star systems are 1.4×10-2, 7.3 × 10-4 and 3.6×10 −3.
