چکیده
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}. Data from the first eight months of the fifth LIGO science run (S5) have been used in this search, which is based on a semicoherent method (PowerFlux) of summing strain power. Observing no evidence of periodic gravitational radiation, we report 95% confidence-level upper limits on radiation emitted by any unknown isolated rotating neutron stars within the search range. Strain limits below 10{-24} are obtained over a 200-Hz band, and the sensitivity improvement over previous searches increases the spatial volume sampled by an average factor of about 100 over the entire search band. For a neutron star with nominal equatorial ellipticity of 10{-6}, the search is sensitive to distances as great as 500 pc.

Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the fifth LIGO science run
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50–1000 Hz with the first derivative of frequency in the range −8.9 × 10−10 Hz s−1 to zero in two years of data collected during LIGO’s fifth science run. Our results employ a Hough transform technique, introducing a χ2 test and analysis of coincidences between the signal levels in years 1 and 2 of observatio...
متن کاملFirst low-frequency Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves in Advanced LIGO data
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run. This search investigates the low frequency range of Advanced LIGO data, between 20 and 100 Hz, much of which was not explored in initial LIGO. The search was made possible by the computing power provided by the volunteers of the Einstein@Hom...

متن کاملAll-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the O1 LIGO data
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 20–475 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of 1⁄2−1.0;þ0.1 × 10−8 Hz=s. Such a signal could be produced by a nearby spinning and slightly nonaxisymmetric isolated neutron star in our galaxy. This search uses the data from Advanced LIGO’s first observational run, O1. No periodic gravitational w...
متن کاملStatus of the LIGO detectors
All three LIGO gravitational wave detectors have reached their design sensitivities. A sky-averaged detection range (SNR > 8) of more than 15 Mpc for gravitational waves emitted from inspiral binary neutron stars with masses of 1.4 M has been achieved with the two 4 km instruments. The fifth LIGO science run started in November 2005 and ended in September 2007. A full year of triple coincidence...
