Degeneracies in Sky Localisation Determination from a Spinning Coalescing Binary through Gravitational Wave Observations: a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo Analysis for two Detectors
V. Raymond, M. V. van der Sluys, I. Mandel +3
Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave i…
All-sky LIGO Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Early S5 Data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50--1100 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -5.…
SO(3) quantum invariants are dense
Helen M. Wong
We show that when is prime, the SO(3) Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants for three-manifolds at the level form a dense set in the complex plane. This confi…
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…
First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…
Parameter estimation of spinning binary inspirals using Markov-chain Monte Carlo
Marc van der Sluys, Vivien Raymond, Ilya Mandel +5
We present a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) technique to study the source parameters of gravitational-wave signals from the inspirals of stellar-mass compact binaries detected wit…
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…
The Einstein@Home search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S4 data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
A search for periodic gravitational waves, from sources such as isolated rapidly-spinning neutron stars, was carried out using 510 hours of data from the fourth LIGO science run (S…
On the Stretch Factor of Convex Delaunay Graphs
Prosenjit Bose, Paz Carmi, Sebastien Collette +1
Let C be a compact and convex set in the plane that contains the origin in its interior, and let S be a finite set of points in the plane. The Delaunay graph DG_C(S) of S is define…
Modelling coloured residual noise in gravitational-wave signal processing
Christian Röver, Renate Meyer, Nelson Christensen
We introduce a signal processing model for signals in non-white noise, where the exact noise spectrum is a priori unknown. The model is based on a Student's t distribution and cons…
The LSC Glitch Group : Monitoring Noise Transients during the fifth LIGO Science Run
L. Blackburn, L. Cadonati, S. Caride +33
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) glitch group is part of the LIGO detector characterization effort. It consists of data analysts and detector experts who, during and after s…
Astrophysically Triggered Searches for Gravitational Waves: Status and Prospects
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration
In gravitational-wave detection, special emphasis is put onto searches that focus on cosmic events detected by other types of astrophysical observatories. The astrophysical trigger…
Searching for gravitational waves from Cassiopeia A with LIGO
K. Wette, B. J. Owen, B. Allen +28
We describe a search underway for periodic gravitational waves from the central compact object in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The object is the youngest likely neutron star…
