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…

Correlated Gravitational Wave and Neutrino Signals from General-Relativistic Rapidly Rotating Iron Core Collapse

C. D. Ott, E. Abdikamalov, E. O'Connor +6

We present results from a new set of 3D general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of rotating iron core collapse. We assume octant symmetry and focus on axisymmetric collapse,…

Implications For The Origin Of GRB 051103 From LIGO Observations

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +568

We present the results of a LIGO search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with GRB 051103, a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose electromagnetically det…

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…

Stacking Gravitational Wave Signals from Soft Gamma Repeater Bursts

P. Kalmus, K. C. Cannon, S. Marka +1

Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) have unique properties that make them intriguing targets for gravitational wave (GW) searches. They are nearby, their burst emission mechanism may invol…

Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters

Peter Kalmus

We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GW) associated with soft gamma repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first GW search sensitive to neutr…
