Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they
have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014. We review the …

We review the ensemble of anticipated gravitational-wave (GW) emission processes in
stellar core collapse and postbounce core-collapse supernova evolution. We discuss recent …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

This paper presents an algorithm for constructing matched-filter template banks in an
arbitrary parameter space. The method places templates at random, then removes those …

We present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the
LIGO and Virgo detectors between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010: data are analyzed …

We present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts coincident with two core-
collapse supernovae observed optically in 2007 and 2011. We employ data from the Laser …
