Pulsars and Gravitational Wave Detection
The number of known millisecond pulsars has dramatically increased in the last few years. Regular observations of these pulsars may allow gravitational waves with frequencies ∼ 10 Hz to be detected. A “pulsar timing array” is therefore complimentary to other searches for gravitational waves using ground-based or space-based interferometers that are sensitive to much higher frequencies. In this ...
متن کاملWide parameter search for isolated pulsars using the Hough transform
We use the Hough transform to analyze data from the second science run of the LIGO interferometers, to look for gravitational waves from isolated pulsars. We search over the whole sky and over a large range of frequencies and spin-down parameters. Our search method is based on the Hough transform, which is a semi-coherent, computationally efficient, and robust pattern recognition technique. We ...
متن کاملGravitational Wave Burst Search
We will prepare for, carry out, and report on a search for burst-like events of gravitational wave origin in data to be collected in an Engineering Run that will have coincident data from operating interferometers at both Hanford and Livingston (hereinafter referred to as the Science Analysis Challenge or SAC). By “burst-like events” (hereinafter “bursts”) we refer in the most general sense to ...
متن کاملFirst Search for Nontensorial Gravitational Waves from Known Pulsars.
We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric theory may, in principle, predict waves with up to six different polarizations. This analysis is sensitive to continuous signals of scalar, vector, or tensor polarizations, and does not rely on any specific theory of ...
متن کاملA Study of the Gravitational Wave Form from Pulsars
The direct detection of gravitational radiation (GR) from astrophysical sources is one of the most important outstanding problems in experimental gravitation today. The construction of large laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors like the LIGO, VIRGO , LISA, TAMA 300, GITO 6000 and AIGO is opening a new window for the study of a vast and rich variety of nonlinear curvature phenomena...
