First LIGO search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic (super)strings (2009)
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Adhikari, R., Ajith, P., Allen, B., Allen, G., ...
We report on a matched-filter search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic string cusps using LIGO data from the fourth science run (S4) which took place in February and March 2005. No...
Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data (2009)
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Adhikari, R., Ajith, P., Allen, B., Allen, G., ...
According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for example, in the...
Stacked Search for Gravitational Waves from the 2006 SGR 1900+14 Storm (2009)
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Adhikari, R., Ajith, P., Allen, B., Allen, G., ...
We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with the 2006 March 29 SGR 1900+14 storm. A new search method is used, "stacking" the GW data around...
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Adhikari, R., Ajith , P., Allen, B., Allen, G., ...
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...
Einstein@Home search for periodic gravitational waves in early S5 LIGO data (2009)
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Adhikari, R., Ajith, P., Allen, B., Allen, G., ...
This paper reports on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from sources such as deformed isolated rapidly spinning neutron stars. The analysis uses 840 hours of data from 66 days of the...
LIGO: the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (2009)
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Adhikari, R., Ajith, P, Allen, B., Allen, G., ...
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves (GWs) of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of GWs holds the promise of...
All-Sky LIGO Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Early Fifth-Science-Run Data (2009)
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Adhikari, R., Ajith, P., Allen, B., Allen, G., ...
We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50–1100 Hz and with the frequency’s time derivative in the range -5 x 10^(-9)–0...
All-sky LIGO search for periodic gravitational waves in the early fifth-science-run data. (2009)

We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1100 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -5 x 10{-9}-0 Hz s{-1}....
An upper limit on the stochastic gravitational-wave background of cosmological origin (2009)
Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Acernese, F., Adhikari, R., Ajith, P., Allen, B., ...
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...
