Description
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between\newcommand {\OOneStart}{12~ September~ 2015}\newcommand {\OOneStartShort}{September~ 2015}\OOneStartShort and\newcommand {\OOneStop}{19~ January~ 2016}\newcommand {\OOneStopShort}{January~ 2016}\OOneStopShort, with a total observational time of\newcommand {\OOneLivetime}{49~ d}\OOneLivetime. The search targets gravitational wave transients of 10-500 s duration in a frequency band of 24-2048 Hz, with minimal assumptions about the signal waveform, polarization, source direction, or time of occurrence. No significant events were observed. As a result we set 90% confidence upper limits on the rate of long-duration gravitational wave transients for different types of gravitational wave signals. We also show that the search is sensitive to sources in the Galaxy emitting at least∼ 10-8\newcommand {\msuncd}{M☉ c^ 2}\newcommand {\msun}{M☉}{\msuncd} in gravitational waves.
