Probing neutron stars with gravitational waves

Benjamin J. Owen

Within the next decade gravitational-wave (GW) observations by Advanced LIGO in the United States, Advanced Virgo and GEO HF in Europe, and possibly other ground-based instruments…

Constraints on a phenomenologically parameterized neutron-star equation of state

Jocelyn S. Read, Benjamin D. Lackey, Benjamin J. Owen +1

We introduce a parameterized high-density equation of state (EOS) in order to systematize the study of constraints placed by astrophysical observations on the nature of neutron-sta…

Model Waveform Accuracy Standards for Gravitational Wave Data Analysis

Lee Lindblom, Benjamin J. Owen, Duncan A. Brown

Model waveforms are used in gravitational wave data analysis to detect and then to measure the properties of a source by matching the model waveforms to the signal from a detector.…

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…

First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…

Searching for gravitational waves from Cassiopeia A with LIGO

K. Wette, B. J. Owen, B. Allen +28

We describe a search underway for periodic gravitational waves from the central compact object in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The object is the youngest likely neutron star…
