IGEC2: A 17-month search for gravitational wave bursts in 2005-2007

P. Astone, L. Baggio, M. Bassan +50

We present here the results of a 515 days long run of the IGEC2 observatory, consisting of the four resonant mass detectors ALLEGRO, AURIGA, EXPLORER and NAUTILUS. The reported res…

Nonequilibrium steady state fluctuations in actively cooled resonators

M. Bonaldi, L. Conti, P. De Gregorio +15

We analyze heat and work fluctuations in the gravitational wave detector AURIGA, modeled as a macroscopic electromechanical oscillator in contact with a thermostat and cooled by an…

Feedback cooling of the normal modes of a massive electromechanical system to submillikelvin temperature

A. Vinante, M. Bignotto, M. Bonaldi +13

We apply a feedback cooling technique to simultaneously cool the three electromechanical normal modes of the ton-scale resonant-bar gravitational wave detector AURIGA. The measurin…

A Cross-correlation method to search for gravitational wave bursts with AURIGA and Virgo

AURIGA Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration

We present a method to search for transient GWs using a network of detectors with different spectral and directional sensitivities: the interferometer Virgo and the bar detector AU…

First joint Gravitational Waves search by the Auriga-Explorer-Nautilus-Virgo collaboration

Virgo collaboration

We present results of the search for coincident burst excitations over a 24 hours long data set collected by AURIGA, EXPLORER, NAUTILUS and Virgo detectors during September 2005. T…

Upper limits on gravitational waves emission in association with the Dec 27 2004 giant flare of SGR1806-20

L. Baggio, M. Bignotto, M. Bonaldi +20

At the time when the giant flare of SGR1806-20 occurred, the AURIGA "bar" gw detector was on the air with a noise performance close to stationary gaussian. This allows to set relev…
