The search was conducted on data collected by the LIGO and Virgo detectors between November of 2005 and October of 2007. No plausible signals were observed by the search which constrains the astrophysical rates of the intermediate mass black holes mergers as a function of the component masses. In the most efficiently detected bin centered on 88+88 M_⊙, for nonspinning sources, the rate density upper limit is 0.13 per Mpc^3 per Myr at the 90% confidence level. | Item Type: | Article |
