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…
Gravitational-Wave Astronomy with Inspiral Signals of Spinning Compact-Object Binaries
M. V. van der Sluys, C. Roever, A. Stroeer +6
Inspiral signals from binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, V…
Arecibo HI Absorption Measurements of Pulsars and the Electron Density at Intermediate Longitudes in the First Galactic Quadrant
J. M. Weisberg, S. Stanimirovic, K. Xilouris +4
We have used the Arecibo telescope to measure the HI absorption spectra of eight pulsars. We show how kinematic distance measurements depend upon the values of the galactic constan…
A Survey of Local Group Galaxies Currently Forming Stars: III. A Search for Luminous Blue Variables and Other H-alpha Emission-Lined Stars
Philip Massey, Reagin T. McNill, K. A. G. Olsen +5
We describe a search for H-alpha emission-lined stars in M31, M33, and seven dwarfs in or near the Local Group (IC 10, NGC 6822, WLM, Sextans B, Sextans A, Pegasus and the Phoenix…
