Upper limits based on “loudest” events
A recent letter reports an upper limit on the galactic compact binary inspiral rate set by gravitational wave observations using the LIGO 40M prototype interferometer. The limit was set by imagining a threshold set equal to the amplitude of the loudest event and then considering the probability that only one event was observed with amplitude greater than the threshold. That limit can be improve...
متن کاملFirst upper limits from LIGO on gravitational wave bursts
We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts using data from the first science run of the LIGO detectors. We focus on bursts with durations ranging from 4 msec to 100 msec, and with significant power in the LIGO sensitivity band of 150 to 3000 Hz. We bound the rate for such detected bursts at less than 1.6 events per day at 90% confidence level. This result is interpreted in terms of the...
متن کاملOn Upper Limits for Gravitational Radiation
A procedure with a Bayesan approach for calculating upper limits to gravitational wave bursts from coincidence experiments with multiple detectors is described.
متن کاملImproved upper limits on the stochastic gravitational-wave background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo data.
Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughout the history of the Universe that is unavailable through standard electromagnetic observations, making its study of fundamental importance to understanding the evolution of the Universe. We carry out a search for the...
متن کاملIntegral Upper Limits on Gamma-ray Emission Associated with the Gravitational Wave Event Gw150914
Using observations of the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL), we place upper limits on the gamma-ray and hard X-ray prompt emission associated with the gravitational wave event GW150914, which was discovered by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration. The omnidirectional view of the INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS has allowed us to constrain the fraction of energy emitted in the hard X-ray electr...
