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…
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…
R-modes of accreting hyperon stars as persistent sources of gravitational waves
Mohit Nayyar, Benjamin J. Owen
The -modes of accreting neutron stars could be a detectable source of persistent gravitational waves if the bulk viscosity of the stellar matter can prevent a thermal runaway. T…
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…
Observational constraints on hyperons in neutron stars
Benjamin D. Lackey, Mohit Nayyar, Benjamin J. Owen
The possibility that neutron stars may contain substantial hyperon populations has important implications for neutron-star cooling and, through bulk viscosity, the viability of the…
