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…
Gravitational-wave Astronomy: Opening a New Window on the Universe for Students, Educators and the Public
M. Cavaglia, M. Hendry, D. Ingram +11
The nascent field of gravitational-wave astronomy offers many opportunities for effective and inspirational astronomy outreach. Gravitational waves, the "ripples in space-time" pre…
Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, R. Abbott +440
We present direct upper limits on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar using data from the first nine months of the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravit…
