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…
Benefits of joint LIGO -- Virgo coincidence searches for burst and inspiral signals
F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard, L. Blackburn +22
We examine the benefits of performing a joint LIGO--Virgo search for transient signals. We do this by adding burst and inspiral signals to 24 hours of simulated detector data. We f…
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…
Horizon energy and angular momentum from a Hamiltonian perspective
Ivan Booth, Stephen Fairhurst
Classical black holes and event horizons are highly non-local objects, defined in terms of the causal past of future null infinity. Alternative, (quasi)local definitions are often…
A first comparison of search methods for gravitational wave bursts using LIGO and Virgo simulated data
L. Blackburn, F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard +20
We present a comparative study of 6 search methods for gravitational wave bursts using simulated LIGO and Virgo noise data. The data's spectra were chosen to follow the design sens…
Status of the joint LIGO--TAMA300 inspiral analysis
Stephen Fairhurst, Hirotaka Takahashi
We present the status of the joint search for gravitational waves from inspiraling neutron star binaries in the LIGO Science Run 2 and TAMA300 Data Taking Run 8 data, which was tak…
