Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Six Magnetars
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +765
Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are thought to be magnetars: neutron stars powered by extreme magnetic fields. These rare objects are characterized b…
Studying the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium in Emission
Yoh Takei, Eugenio Ursino, Enzo Branchini +14
We assess the possibility to detect the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) in emission and to characterize its physical conditions and spatial distribution through spatially reso…
Calibration and sensitivity of the Virgo detector during its second science run
The Virgo Collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +175
The Virgo detector is a kilometer-length interferometer for gravitational wave detection located near Pisa (Italy). During its second science run (VSR2) in 2009, six months of data…
Gravitational wave background from sub-luminous GRBs: prospects for second and third generation detectors
E. Howell, T. Regimbau, A. Corsi +2
We assess the detection prospects of a gravitational wave background associated with sub-luminous gamma-ray bursts (SL-GRBs). We assume that the central engines of a significant pr…
Virgo calibration and reconstruction of the gravitational wave strain during VSR1
The Virgo collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +171
Virgo is a kilometer-length interferometer for gravitational waves detection located near Pisa. Its first science run, VSR1, occured from May to October 2007. The aims of the calib…
