Abstract
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries, of total mass between 2 and , using LIGO observations between November 14, 2006 and May 18, 2007. No gravitational-wave signals were detected. We report upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescence as a function of total mass. The LIGO cumulative 90%-confidence rate upper limits of the binary coalescence of neutron stars, black holes and black hole-neutron star systems are , and , respectively, where is times the blue solar luminosity.
