Swift follow-up observations of candidate gravitational-wave transient events

P. A. Evans, +908 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first multi-wavelength follow-up observations of two candidate gravitational-wave (GW) transient events recorded by LIGO and Virgo in their 2009-2010 science run are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

First narrow-band search for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars in advanced detector data

B. P. Abbott, +1120 more
- 28 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a narrow-band search of 11 pulsars using data from Advanced LIGO's first observing run, and they have placed upper limits on the signal strain amplitude lower than the spin-down limit for 5 of the 11 targets over the bands searched; in the case of J1813-1749 the spindown limit has been beaten for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts During the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run and Implications for the Origin of GRB 150906B

B. P. Abbott, +998 more
TL;DR: The results of the search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with gamma-ray bursts detected during the first observing run of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) are presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upper Limits on Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1 from a Model-Based Cross-Correlation Search in Advanced LIGO Data

B. P. Abbott, +1078 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run, was conducted over the frequency range 25-2000\,\mathrm{Hz}, spanning the current observationally constrained range of binary orbital parameters.
