A simple, picojoule-sensitive ultraviolet autocorrelator based on two-photon conductivity in sapphire

Kenneth J. Leedle, Karel E. Urbanek, Robert L. Byer

We present a simple autocorrelator for ultraviolet pulses based on two-photon conductivity in a bench-top fabricatable sapphire sensor. We perform measurements on femtosecond 226 -…

A search for gravitational waves associated with the August 2006 timing glitch of the Vela pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +499

The physical mechanisms responsible for pulsar timing glitches are thought to excite quasi-normal mode oscillations in their parent neutron star that couple to gravitational wave e…

First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537

We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…

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…

First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…
