Search for transient gravitational wave signals associated with magnetar bursts during Advanced LIGO's second observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129
We present the results of a search for short and intermediate-duration gravitational-wave signals from four magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGO's second observing run. We find no evid…
Narrow-band search for gravitational waves from known pulsars using the second LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135
