Search for gravitational-wave bursts from soft gamma repeaters.
We present a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with soft gamma ray repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron star f modes, usually considered the most efficient GW emitting modes. We find no evidence of GWs associated with any SGR burst in a sample consisting of the 27 Dec. 2004 giant flare from SGR 1806-20 and 190 lesser events from ...
متن کاملAbout the Detection of Gravitational Wave Bursts
Supernovae have been historically the first envisaged sources of gravitational waves (GW). Although binary inspirals or even periodic GW emitters like pulsars seem to be nowadays more promising sources, impulsive sources of GW such as supernovae should also be considered in the data analysis design of interferometric detectors currently under construction (LIGO, VIRGO). Impulsive GW sources are...
متن کاملSearching for Gravitational-Wave Bursts with LIGO
We present recent results from searches by the LIGO Science Collaboration for bursts of gravitational-wave radiation, as well as the status of other ongoing searches. These include directed searches for bursts associated with observed sources (gamma-ray bursts, soft gamma repeaters) and untriggered searches for bursts from unknown sources. We also present the status of some newer investigations...
متن کاملStatus of the search for gravitational wave bursts with the LIGO detectors
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration has been preparing for the search of burstlike events in the first LIGO science data. We present an overview of the goals of the burst search and provide a description of the different methods used to generate triggers from the raw time series. We also introduce the infrastructure of the prototype burst analysis pipeline. This brings together triggers from the ...
متن کاملThe search for gravitational wave bursts in data from the second LIGO science run
The network of detectors comprising the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) are among a new generation of detectors that seek to make the first direct observation of gravitational waves. While providing strong support for the General Theory of Relativity, such observations will also permit new tests of physical theory in regions of strong space-time curvature and high mat...
