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…

LOOC UP: Locating and observing optical counterparts to gravitational wave bursts

Jonah Kanner, Tracy L. Huard, Szabolcs Marka +4

Gravitational wave (GW) bursts (short duration signals) are expected to be associated with highly energetic astrophysical processes. With such high energies present, it is likely t…

Search method for coincident events from LIGO and IceCube detectors

Yoichi Aso, Zsuzsa Marka, Chad Finley +3

We present a coincidence search method for astronomical events using gravitational wave detectors in conjunction with other astronomical observations. We illustrate our method for…

Detection Rate Estimates of Gravity-waves Emitted During Parabolic Encounters of Stellar Black Holes in Globular Clusters

Bence Kocsis, Merse E. Gaspar, Szabolcs Marka

The rapid advance of gravitational-wave (GW) detector facilities makes it very important to estimate the event rates of possible detection candidates. We consider an additional pos…

Upper Limits on a Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has performed a third science run with much improved sensitivities of all three interferometers. We present an analys…
