Search for Subsolar-Mass Ultracompact Binaries in Advanced LIGO’s First Observing Run
We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between $0.2\text{ }\text{ }{M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}--1.0\text{ }\text{ }{M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$ using data taken between September 12, 2015 and January 19, 2016. We find no viable gravitational wave candidates. Our null result constrains the coalescence rate of monochromatic …
