TL;DR: The first search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence using data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Virgo detectors was reported in this article, which focused on signals from binary mergers with a total mass between 2 and 35M (circle dot).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors search for known gravitational-wave signatures in temporal and directional coincidence with 22 short gamma-ray bursts (shortGRBs) that had sufficient gravitationalwave data available in multiple instruments during LIGO's fifth science run,============S5, and Virgo's first science run VSR1.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-latency analysis pipeline was used to identify and localize GW event candidates and to reconstruct maps of possible sky locations, and a catalog of nearby galaxies and Milky Way globular clusters were used to select the most promising sky positions to be imaged.

TL;DR: In this article, the average pulse profiles of 100 pulsars observed in the two LOFAR frequency bands were compared with Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) and Lovell Telescope observations at higher frequencies (350 and 1400 MHz) to study the profile evolution.
