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…
Gravitational-wave Astronomy: Opening a New Window on the Universe for Students, Educators and the Public
M. Cavaglia, M. Hendry, D. Ingram +11
The nascent field of gravitational-wave astronomy offers many opportunities for effective and inspirational astronomy outreach. Gravitational waves, the "ripples in space-time" pre…
Resolving Super Massive Black Holes with LISA
Stanislav Babak, Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa +1
We study the angular resolution of the gravitational wave detector LISA and show that numerical relativity can drastically improve the accuracy of position location for coalescing…
Detecting gravitational wave emission from the known accreting neutron stars
Anna Watts, Badri Krishnan, Lars Bildsten +1
Detection of gravitational waves from accreting neutron stars (NSs) in our galaxy, due to ellipticity or internal oscillation, would be a breakthrough in our understanding of compa…
