A Search for Gravitational Waves from Binary Mergers with a Single Observatory
We present a search for merging compact binary gravitational-wave sources that produce a signal appearing solely or primarily in a single detector. Past analyses have heavily relied on coincidence between multiple detectors to reduce non-astrophysical background. However, for $\sim40\%$ of the total time of the 2015-2017 LIGO-Virgo observing runs only …
