TL;DR: This work performs a search for the isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using data from Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory's (aLIGO) first observing run, and constrain the dimensionless energy density of gravitational waves to be Ω_{0}<1.7×10^{-7} with 95% confidence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results from three gravitational-wave searches for coalescing compact binaries with component masses above 1, during the first and second observing runs of the Advanced Gravitational-wave detector network.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-correlation analysis on the data from Advanced LIGO's second observing run (O2) is presented, which combines with the results of the first observing run, and upper limits on the normalized energy density in gravitational waves at the 95% credible level of ΩGW < 6.0 × 10−8 at 25 Hz for a background of compact binary coalescences.

TL;DR: In this article, the sky localization of the first observed compact binary merger is presented, where the authors describe the low-latency analysis of the LIGO data and present a sky localization map.
