Over the last three years, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has detected signals from colliding black holes and a signal from colliding neutron stars. These detections ushered in a new era of gravitational-wave (GW) astrophysics and multimessenger astronomy that allows us to probe new regions of the universe. One of the next frontiers for gravitational-wave astronomy is the detection and characterization of the stochastic GW background (SGWB). A measurement of the SGWB from unresolved compact binary systems could come as Advanced LIGO reaches design sensitivity, and future detectors will be important for digging beyond that astrophysical background towards trying to measure signals from relic gravitational waves produced in the early universe.

520 $a Over the last three years, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has detected signals from colliding black holes and a signal from colliding neutron stars. These detections ushered in a new era of gravitational-wave (GW) astrophysics and multimessenger astronomy that allows us to probe new regions of the universe. One of the next frontiers for gravitational-wave astronomy is the detection and characterization of the stochastic GW background (SGWB). A measurement of the SGWB from unresolved compact binary systems could come as Advanced LIGO reaches design sensitivity, and future detectors will be important for digging beyond that astrophysical background towards trying to measure signals from relic gravitational waves produced in the early universe.
520 $a In this dissertation, I present cross-correlation-based searches for a SGWB and other persistent sources of GWs. I introduce and use a new method for setting limits on the strain amplitude of a potential source of GWs in the directions of Scorpius X-1, the galactic center, and Supernova 1987a in the frequency band from 20-1726 Hz. I also set limits on persistent, broadband point sources of GWs across the whole sky. Finally, I show how we can implement data analysis techniques to improve the Advanced LIGO detector sensitivity to persistent sources of GWs.
520 $a Improving sensitivity of current detectors and planning for future detectors is vital to the effort to measure and understand the SGWB. This will requires a better understanding of the noise sources that limit sensitivity, especially at lower frequencies. To this end, I outline a method for estimating and modeling correlated magnetic noise between spatially separated GW detectors. I also present results from a 3D seismometer array deployed at the Homestake Mine, aimed at characterizing seismic and Newtonian noise for future GW detectors. I estimate the fundamental Rayleigh-wave eigenfunction, and then use it in a seismic radiometer algorithm to separate different components of the seismic field that contribute differently to the Newtonian noise. Finally, I present estimates of the Newtonian noise as a function of depth in the frequency band from 0.5-5 Hz based on results from the seismic radiometer.
