Status of searches for compact binaries in aLIGO with PyCBC
ORAL
Abstract
Advanced LIGO began its first observing in September 2015. Gravitational waves from binary neutron stars, binary black holes and neutron star-black hole binaries are an important science goal for Advanced LIGO. The PyCBC search uses match filtering to correlate LIGO data with a bank of templates to search for transient gravitational-wave from compact object binaries with a total mass between 2 and 100 solar masses with spin. In this talk, we describe results of the PyCBC search during the first aLIGO observing run.
