Status of the LIGO-AURIGA Joint Burst Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recently upgraded AURIGA detector and the LIGO observatory were simultaneously acquiring data for the first time in a 2-weeks period during the LIGO S3 run. This coincidence run motivated a collaborative effort to test search methods for gravitational wave bursts on real data. The adopted method uses broad-band cross correlation for the LIGO interferometers triggered by AURIGA events in the 850-950 Hz band. This paper describes the analysis technique and gives a status report on the search, with emphasis on the tuning procedure. Preliminary network performance and background estimates will be provided.

The AURIGA-LIGO Joint Burst Search
Over the course of a two-week period, starting on Christmas Eve 2003, the recently upgraded AURIGA and the LIGO observatory were simultaneously acquiring data. This first coincidence run between the two projects triggered a new collaborative effort in the search for gravitational wave bursts. This paper introduces the goals of the AURIGA-LIGO joint analysis and the methods that have been formul...
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 کاملSearch algorithm for a gravitational wave signal in association with Gamma Ray Burst GRB030329 using the LIGO detectors
One of the brightest Gamma Ray Burst ever recorded, GRB030329, occurred during the second science run of the LIGO detectors. At that time, both interferometers at the Hanford, WA LIGO site were in lock and acquiring data. The data collected from the two Hanford detectors was analyzed for the presence of a gravitational wave signal associated with this GRB. This paper presents a detailed descrip...
متن کاملCoherent Waveform Consistency Test for LIGO Burst Candidates
The burst search in LIGO relies on the coincident detection of transient signals in multiple interferometers. As only minimal assumptions are made about the event waveform or duration, the analysis pipeline requires loose coincidence in time, frequency and amplitude. Confidence in the resulting events and their waveform consistency is established through a time-domain coherent analysis: the r -...
