All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run
Abstract: (IOP) We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between and ,…
Search for Post-merger Gravitational Waves from the Remnant of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
Abstract: (IOP) The first observation of a binary neutron star (NS) coalescence by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors offers an unprecedented opportunity to study matter under…
Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run
Abstract: (APS) Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in grand unified theory scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the…

GW170814: A three-detector observation of gravitational waves from a binary black hole coalescence
Abstract: (APS) On August 14, 2017 at 10∶30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of…
First detection of gravitational waves
On the 11th of February 2016, the Virgo and LIGO collaboration announced the first detection of a gravitational wave. It has been produced by a system of two black holes…
Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger
Abstract: On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. The signal sweeps upwards in frequency from…
