Progress towards Gravitational Wave Astronomy
M. Alessandra Papa
I will review the most recent and interesting results from gravitational wave detection experiments, concentrating on recent results from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC). I…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
Searching for continuous gravitational wave signals: the hierarchical Hough transform algorithm
M. A. Papa, B. F. Schutz, A. M. Sintes
It is well known that matched filtering techniques cannot be applied for searching extensive parameter space volumes for continuous gravitational wave signals. This is the reason w…
End-to-end algorithm for hierarchical area searches for long-duration GW sources for GEO 600
Bernard F. Schutz, M. Alessandra Papa
We describe a hierarchical, highly parallel computer algorithm to perform searches for unknown sources of continuous gravitational waves -- spinning neutron stars in the Galaxy --…
