Methods and results of a search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts using the GEO600, LIGO, and Virgo detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +889

In this paper we report on a search for short-duration gravitational wave bursts in the frequency range 64 Hz-1792 Hz associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), using data from GEO60…

Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…

Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875

Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…

Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts during LIGO science run 6 and Virgo science runs 2 and 3

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +807

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 154 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-ray experiments in 2009-2010, dur…

Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +747

We present direct upper limits on continuous gravitational wave emission from the Vela pulsar using data from the Virgo detector's second science run. These upper limits have been…

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…
