Among the most promising sources of gravitational waves for ground-based detectors are the signals emitted during the coalescence of compact binary systems containing neutron stars or black holes. In recent years, the first generation LIGO and Virgo detectors have recorded science data over long observation periods. These data have been analyzed in search of signals from compact binary coalescences - both all-sky searches and searches associated with short gamma-ray bursts have been performed. We review recent results and outline the prospects for future observations.

Abstract
Among the most promising sources of gravitational waves for ground-based detectors are the signals emitted during the coalescence of compact binary systems containing neutron stars or black holes. In recent years, the first generation LIGO and Virgo detectors have recorded science data over long observation periods. These data have been analyzed in search of signals from compact binary coalescences - both all-sky searches and searches associated with short gamma-ray bursts have been performed. We review recent results and outline the prospects for future observations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
