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…

Discovery of Localized Regions of Excess 10-TeV Cosmic Rays

A. A. Abdo, B. Allen, T. Aune +30

An analysis of 7 years of Milagro data performed on a 10-degree angular scale has found two localized regions of excess of unknown origin with greater than 12 sigma significance. B…

Implications for the Origin of GRB 070201 from LIGO Observations

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, K. Hurley

We analyzed the available LIGO data coincident with GRB 070201, a short duration hard spectrum gamma-ray burst whose electromagnetically determined sky position is coincident with…

TeV Gamma-Ray Sources from a Survey of the Galactic Plane with Milagro

A. A. Abdo, B. Allen, D. Berley +31

A survey of Galactic gamma-ray sources at a median energy of ~20 TeV has been performed using the Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory. Eight candidate sources of TeV emission are detecte…

Upper limit map of a background of gravitational waves

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We searched for an anisotropic background of gravitational waves using data from the LIGO S4 science run and a method that is optimized for point sources. This is appropriate if, f…

Discovery of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from the Cygnus Region of the Galaxy

A. A. Abdo, B. Allen, D. Berley +36

The diffuse gamma radiation arising from the interaction of cosmic ray particles with matter and radiation in the Galaxy is one of the few probes available to study the origin of t…
