The LIGO and Virgo detectors collected long stretches of science data in the last years. The analysis of these data in the search for gravitational waves applied different methods and strategies targeted to the identification and characterisation of signals emitted by multiple possible sources. In this brief report we will outline the recent scientific results for signals coming from compact coalescing binary systems involving neutron stars and black holes, burst-like and continuous gravitational waves signals and signals from a broadband and continous background of gravitational waves that could be produced by a large collection of incoherent sources.

Abstract
The LIGO and Virgo detectors collected long stretches of science data in the last years. The analysis of these data in the search for gravitational waves applied different methods and strategies targeted to the identification and characterisation of signals emitted by multiple possible sources. In this brief report we will outline the recent scientific results for signals coming from compact coalescing binary systems involving neutron stars and black holes, burst-like and continuous gravitational waves signals and signals from a broadband and continous background of gravitational waves that could be produced by a large collection of incoherent sources.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
