Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2

We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…

Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, R. Abbott +440

We present direct upper limits on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar using data from the first nine months of the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravit…

Implications for the Origin of GRB 070201 from LIGO Observations

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, K. Hurley

We analyzed the available LIGO data coincident with GRB 070201, a short duration hard spectrum gamma-ray burst whose electromagnetically determined sky position is coincident with…

Interferometric Observations of V1663 Aquilae (Nova Aql 2005)

B. F. Lane, A. Retter, J. A. Eisner +3

We have resolved the classical nova V1663 Aql using long-baseline near-IR interferometry covering the period from 5--18 days after peak brightness. We directly measure the shape an…

Search for gravitational wave radiation associated with the pulsating tail of the SGR 1806-20 hyperflare of 27 December 2004 using LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We have searched for Gravitational Waves (GWs) associated with the SGR 1806-20 hyperflare of 27 December 2004. This event, originating from a Galactic neutron star, displayed excep…

Upper limit map of a background of gravitational waves

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We searched for an anisotropic background of gravitational waves using data from the LIGO S4 science run and a method that is optimized for point sources. This is appropriate if, f…
