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…
Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using LIGO S5 science data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +712
The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distr…
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…
Search for gravitational wave bursts in LIGO's third science run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts in data from the three LIGO interferometric detectors during their third science run. The search targets subsecond bursts in the…
Upper Limits on a Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has performed a third science run with much improved sensitivities of all three interferometers. We present an analys…
