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…

Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, R. Abbott +440

We present direct upper limits on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar using data from the first nine months of the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravit…

Gravitational-Wave Astronomy with Inspiral Signals of Spinning Compact-Object Binaries

M. V. van der Sluys, C. Roever, A. Stroeer +6

Inspiral signals from binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, V…

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…

The Age of the Universe and the Cosmological Constant Determined from Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Measurements

L. Knox, N. Christensen, C. Skordis

If Omega_tot = 1 and structure formed from adiabatic initial conditions then the age of the Universe, as constrained by measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), is t_…
