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…

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…

Upper Limits on a Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has performed a third science run with much improved sensitivities of all three interferometers. We present an analys…

Swift Pointing and Gravitational-Wave Bursts from Gamma-Ray Burst Events

Lee Samuel Finn, Badri Krishnan, Patrick J. Sutton

The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar-mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with…

Swift Pointing and the Association Between Gamma-Ray Bursts and Gravitational-Wave Bursts

Lee Samuel Finn, Badri Krishnan, Patrick J. Sutton

The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with…
