First LIGO search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic (super)strings

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We report on a matched-filter search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic string cusps using LIGO data from the fourth science run (S4) which took place in February and March…

Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for exa…

Resistive relaxation of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star

M. Vigelius, A. Melatos

Three-dimensional numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are performed to investigate how a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star relaxes resistively…

Improved estimate of the detectability of gravitational radiation from a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star

M. Vigelius, A. Melatos

We give an improved estimate of the detectability of gravitational waves from magnetically confined mountains on accreting neutron stars. The improved estimate includes the followi…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Binary Coalescences in the First Year of LIGO's S5 Data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We have searched for gravitational waves from coalescing low mass compact binary systems with a total mass between 2 and 35 Msun and a minimum component mass of 1 Msun using data f…

Collapse times of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

C. Ticknor, N. G. Parker, A. Melatos +3

We investigate the time taken for global collapse by a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. Two semi-analytical approaches and exact numerical integration of the mean-field dynamics a…
