Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Six Magnetars

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +765

Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are thought to be magnetars: neutron stars powered by extreme magnetic fields. These rare objects are characterized b…

Limits on the quiescent radio emission from the black hole binaries GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1550-564

D. E. Calvelo, R. P. Fender, D. M. Russell +6

We present the results of radio observations of the black hole binaries GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1550-564 in quiescence, with the upgraded Australia Telescope Compact Array. Neither s…

The Double-Peaked 2008 Outburst of the Accreting Milli-Second X-ray Pulsar, IGR J00291+5934

F. Lewis, D. M. Russell, P. G. Jonker +18

In August 2008, the accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar (AMXP), IGR J00291+5934, underwent an outburst lasting ~ 100 days, the first since its discovery in 2004. We present data fr…

Predictions for the Rates of Compact Binary Coalescences Observable by Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +709

We present an up-to-date, comprehensive summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the Initial and Advanced versions of the ground-based…

Search for gravitational-wave inspiral signals associated with short Gamma-Ray Bursts during LIGO's fifth and Virgo's first science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +665

Progenitor scenarios for short gamma-ray bursts (short GRBs) include coalescenses of two neutron stars or a neutron star and black hole, which would necessarily be accompanied by t…
