Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Six Magnetars
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +765
Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are thought to be magnetars: neutron stars powered by extreme magnetic fields. These rare objects are characterized b…
Estimation of compact binary coalescense rates from short gamma-ray burst redshift measurements
Alexander Dietz
Short gamma-ray bursts are believed to originate from the merger of two compact objects. If this scenario is correct, these bursts will be accompanied by the emission of strong gra…
Calibration and sensitivity of the Virgo detector during its second science run
The Virgo Collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +175
The Virgo detector is a kilometer-length interferometer for gravitational wave detection located near Pisa (Italy). During its second science run (VSR2) in 2009, six months of data…
Searches for inspiral gravitational waves associated with short gamma-ray bursts in LIGO's fifth and Virgo's first science run
Alexander Dietz
Mergers of two compact objects, like two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole, are the probable progenitor of short gamma-ray bursts. These events are also promising so…
Searches for inspiral gravitational waves associated with short gamma-ray bursts in LIGO's fifth and Virgo's first science run
Alexander Dietz
This brief report describes the search for gravitational-wave inspiral signals from short gamma-ray bursts. Since these events are probably created by the merger of two compact obj…
Virgo calibration and reconstruction of the gravitational wave strain during VSR1
The Virgo collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +171
Virgo is a kilometer-length interferometer for gravitational waves detection located near Pisa. Its first science run, VSR1, occured from May to October 2007. The aims of the calib…
