Gravitational wave (GW) signals were recently detected directly by LIGO from the coalescences of two black hole pairs. These detections have strengthened our belief that compact binary coalescences (CBCs) are the most promising GW detection…
We present a simplified method for the extraction of meaningful signals from Hanford and Livingstone 32 seconds data for the GW150914 event made publicly available by the LIGO collaboration and demonstrate its ability to reproduce the LIGO…
Burst searches identify gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the detector data without use of a specific signal model, unlike the matched-filter searches that correlate data with simulated signal waveforms (templates). While matched filters…
Long-lived gravitational wave (GW) transients have received interest in the last decade, as the sensitivity of LIGO and Virgo increases. Such signals, lasting between 10 and 1000s, can come from a variety of sources, including accretion…
Continuous-wave (CW) gravitational waves (GWs) call for computationally-intensive methods. Low signal-to-noise ratio signals need templated searches with long coherent integration times and thus fine parameter-space resolution. Longer…
We present a new measure for the comparison of unknown gravitational wave signals in two detectors, without recurring to an {\it a priori} template. We apply this measure to the LIGO data of the GW150914 event and discover that Hanford and…
We propose a blind, template-free method for the extraction of a common signal between the Hanford and Livingston detectors and apply it especially to the GW150914 event. We construct a log-likelihood method that maximizes the…
We find that the Hanford and Livingston detectors of Advanced LIGO derive a distinct posterior probability distribution of binary tidal deformability tilde{Lambda} of the first binary-neutron-star merger GW170817. By analyzing public data…
Gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae are a promising yet challenging target for detection due to the stochastic and complex nature of these signals. Conventional detection methods for core-collapse supernovae rely on excess…
We present results from searches of recent LIGO and Virgo data for continuous gravitational wave signals (CW) from spinning neutron stars and for a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). The first part of the talk is devoted to CW…
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors have observed many tens of compact binary mergers to date. Transient, non-Gaussian noise excursions, known as "glitches", can impact signal detection in various ways.…
We reexamine the results presented in a recent work by Nielsen et al. [1], in which the properties of the noise residuals in the 40\,ms chirp domain of GW150914 were investigated. This paper confirmed the presence of strong (i.e., about…
The LIGO observatories detect gravitational waves through monitoring changes in the detectors' length down to below $10^{-19}$\,$m/\sqrt{Hz}$ variation---a small fraction of the size of the atoms that make up the detector. To achieve this…
Gravitational wave signals from coalescing compact binaries in the LIGO and Virgo interferometers are primarily detected by the template based matched filtering method. While this method is optimal for stationary and Gaussian data…
We adopt the Pearson cross-correlation measure to analyze the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston detector data streams around the events GW150914, GW151012,GW151226 and GW170104. We find that the Pearson cross-correlation method is sensitive…
Searching for gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black holes (BBHs) with LIGO and Virgo involves matched-filtering data against a set of representative signal waveforms --- a template bank --- chosen to cover the full signal space of…
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have cataloged eleven confidently detected gravitational-wave events during the first two observing runs of the advanced detector era. All eleven events were consistent with…
GW170817-GRB 170817A provided the first observation of gravitational waves from a neutron star merger with associated transient counterparts across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This discovery demonstrated the long-hypothesized…
The output of gravitational-wave interferometers, such as LIGO and Virgo, can be highly non-stationary. Broadband detector noise can affect the detector sensitivity on the order of tens of seconds. Gravitational-wave transient searches,…
The recent Nobel-prize-winning detections of gravitational waves from merging black holes and the subsequent detection of the collision of two neutron stars in coincidence with electromagnetic observations have inaugurated a new era of…
