We study the gravitational radiation associated with the non-radial oscillations of newly born,
hot neutron stars. The frequencies and dam** times of the relevant quasi-normal modes …

The network of detectors comprising the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave
Observatory (LIGO) are among a new generation of detectors that seek to make the first …

We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts using data from the first science run of
the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors. Our search …

▪ Abstract The existence of gravitational radiation is a direct prediction of Einstein's theory of
general relativity, published in 1916. The observation of gravitational radiation will open a …

We perform a search for gravitational wave bursts using data from the second science run of
the LIGO detectors, using a method based on a wavelet time-frequency decomposition. This …

This paper presents the results of the observations of the detectors participating in the
International Gravitational Event Collaboration (IGEC) from 1997 to 2000 and reviews the …

This book guides readers (astronomers, physicists, and university students) through central
questions of Practical Cosmology, a term used by the late Allan Sandage to denote the …

The fourth science run of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational-wave detectors, carried out in
early 2005, collected data with significantly lower noise than previous science runs. We …

“In part an account of sociological fieldwork among scientists in the field and part astronomy-
history mystery.... a terrific read.”—Nature Gravity's Ghost and Big Dog brings to life science's …

Experiments aimed at searching for gravitational waves from astrophysical sources have
been under development for the last 40 years, but only now are sensitivities reaching the …
