An upper limit on the stochastic gravitational-wave background of cosmological origin
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, J. Rollins
- PhysicsNature
- 20 August 2009
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmological origin. It should…
Observing gravitational-wave transient GW150914 with minimal assumptions
- B. P. Abbott, G. Cagnoli, F. Bondu
- Physics
- 7 June 2016
The gravitational-wave signal GW150914 was first identified on Sept 14 2015 by searches for short-duration gravitational-wave transients. These searches identify time-correlated transients in…
Searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: Results from the second LIGO science run
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 25 April 2006
We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. Both searches exploit fully coherent matched filtering and…
All-sky LIGO search for periodic gravitational waves in the early fifth-science-run data.

Search for gravitational waves from low mass compact binary coalescence in 186 days of LIGO's fifth science run
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 1 August 2009
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries, of total mass between 2 and 35M⊙, using LIGO observations between November 14, 2006 and May 18, 2007. No…
Analysis of LIGO data for gravitational waves from binary neutron stars
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, M. Papa
- Physics
- 15 June 2004
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binary systems in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. The analysis uses data taken by two of the three LIGO interferometers…
Observation of a kilogram-scale oscillator near its quantum ground state
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 16 July 2009
We introduce a novel cooling technique capable of approaching the quantum ground state of a kilogram-scale system—an interferometric gravitational wave detector. The detectors of the Laser…
All-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S4 data
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 10 January 2008
We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50–1000 Hz and with the frequency’s time derivative in the range −1×10^(−8) Hz s^(−1)…
Search for gravitational waves associated with 39 gamma-ray bursts using data from the second, third, and fourth LIGO runs
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 17 March 2008
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave bursts associated with 39 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by gamma-ray satellite experiments during LIGO’s S2, S3, and S4…
Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using data from Advanced LIGO’s first two observing runs
- B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- PhysicsPhysical Review D
- 21 March 2019
We perform an unmodeled search for persistent, directional gravitational wave (GW) sources using data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO. We do not find evidence for any GW…
