Data Analysis of Massive Gravitational Waves from Gamma Ray Bursts

Abstract

We investigate the detectability of massive mode of polarization of Gravitational Waves (GWs) in f(R) theory of gravity associated with Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) sources. We obtain the beam pattern function of Laser Interferometric Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) corresponding to the massive polarization of GWs and perform Bayesian analysis to study this polarization. It is found that the massive polarization component with a mass of 10^-22eV/c2 is too weak to be detected at LIGO with its current configuration.
