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…

First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…

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…

Detecting gravitational wave emission from the known accreting neutron stars

Anna Watts, Badri Krishnan, Lars Bildsten +1

Detection of gravitational waves from accreting neutron stars (NSs) in our galaxy, due to ellipticity or internal oscillation, would be a breakthrough in our understanding of compa…

Searching for gravitational waves from Cassiopeia A with LIGO

K. Wette, B. J. Owen, B. Allen +28

We describe a search underway for periodic gravitational waves from the central compact object in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The object is the youngest likely neutron star…
