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.

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.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of possible systematic errors in the waveform models on estimates of its source parameters were investigated and no evidence for a systematic bias relative to the statistical error of the original parameter recovery of GW150914 due to modeling approximations or modeling inaccuracies was found.

TL;DR: The null result constrains the coalescence rate of monochromatic (delta function) distributions of nonspinning in primordial black hole binary formation scenario and strengthens the presently placed bounds from microlensing surveys of massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) provided by the MACHO and EROS Collaborations.
