Significant progress has been made in recent years on the development of gravitational-
wave detectors. Sources such as coalescing compact binary systems, neutron stars in low …

Gravitational wave science should transform in this decade from a study of what has not
been seen to a full-fledged field of astronomy in which detected signals reveal the nature of …

Around the globe several observatories are seeking the first direct detection of gravitational
waves (GWs). These waves are predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity and are …

Quantum mechanics demands that the act of measurement must affect the measured object.
When a linear amplifier is used to continuously monitor the position of an object, the …

We describe a coherent network algorithm for detection and reconstruction of gravitational
wave bursts. The algorithm works for two and more arbitrarily aligned detectors and can be …

The gravitational-wave (GW) detector data are affected by short-lived instrumental or
terrestrial transients, called'glitches', which can simulate GW signals. Mitigation of glitches is …

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 …

We present results from an all-sky search for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the
data collected by the LIGO, GEO 600 and Virgo detectors between November 2006 and …

We report the results of the first search for gravitational waves from compact binary
coalescence using data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Five months of data were …

Abstract The Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project is a collaborative effort between
members of the numerical relativity and gravitational-wave data analysis communities. The …
