Long gravitational-wave transients and associated detection strategies for a network of terrestrial interferometers
Eric Thrane, Shivaraj Kandhasamy, Christian D Ott +10
Searches for gravitational waves (GWs) traditionally focus on persistent sources (e.g., pulsars or the stochastic background) or on transients sources (e.g., compact binary inspira…
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…
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…
Characterization of the seismic environment at the Sanford Underground Laboratory, South Dakota
Jan Harms, Fausto Acernese, Fabrizio Barone +18
An array of seismometers is being developed at the Sanford Underground Laboratory, the former Homestake mine, in South Dakota to study the properties of underground seismic fields…
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…
