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…
Methods for Reducing False Alarms in Searches for Compact Binary Coalescences in LIGO Data
J. Slutsky, L. Blackburn, D. A. Brown +17
The LIGO detectors are sensitive to a variety of noise transients of non-astrophysical origin. Instrumental glitches and environmental disturbances increase the false alarm rate in…
All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first joint LIGO-GEO-Virgo run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
We present results from an all-sky search for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO, GEO 600 and Virgo detectors between November 2006 and October 2…
