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…
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…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
Search for gravitational waves from binary inspirals in S3 and S4 LIGO data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on a search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of compact binaries during the third and fourth LIGO science runs. The search focused on gravitational waves gene…
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…
