Upper limits on the strength of periodic gravitational waves from PSR J1939+2134

B. Allen, G. Woan

The first science run of the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors presented the opportunity to test methods of searching for gravitational waves from known pulsars. Here we pr…

Black Hole Spectroscopy: Testing General Relativity through Gravitational Wave Observations

Olaf Dreyer, Bernard Kelly, Badri Krishnan +3

Assuming that general relativity is the correct theory of gravity in the strong field limit, can gravitational wave observations distinguish between black hole and other compact ob…

Analysis of LIGO data for gravitational waves from binary neutron stars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binary systems in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. The analysis uses data taken by two of the three LI…

Swift Pointing and Gravitational-Wave Bursts from Gamma-Ray Burst Events

Lee Samuel Finn, Badri Krishnan, Patrick J. Sutton

The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar-mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with…

Swift Pointing and the Association Between Gamma-Ray Bursts and Gravitational-Wave Bursts

Lee Samuel Finn, Badri Krishnan, Patrick J. Sutton

The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with…

No statistical excess in Explorer/Nautilus observations in the year 2001

Lee Samuel Finn

A recent report on gravitational wave detector data from the NAUTILUS and EXPLORER detector groups claims a statistically significant excess of coincident events when the detectors…
