Search for transient gravitational waves in coincidence with short duration radio transients during 2007-2013

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, others +999

We present an archival search for transient gravitational-wave bursts in coincidence with 27 single pulse triggers from Green Bank Telescope pulsar surveys, using the LIGO, Virgo a…

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…

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…
