LIGO / VIRGO searches for gravitational radiation in hypernovae
نویسنده
چکیده
A torus around a stellar mass Kerr black hole can emit about 10% of the spin-energy of the black hole in gravitational radiation, potentially associated with a gamma-ray burst. Wide tori may develop buckling modes by the Papaloizou-Pringle instability and gravitational radiation-reaction forces in the Burke-Thorne approximation. Gravitational wave experiments may discover these emissions in a fraction of nearby supernovae. This provides a test for Kerr black holes, and for GRB inner engines by comparison with the de-redshifted durations of long GRBs. Subject headings: black hole physics — gamma-rays: bursts and theory – gravi-tational waves

متن کاملUsed percentage veto for LIGO and virgo binary inspiral searches
A challenge for ground-based gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO and Virgo is to understand the origin of non-astrophysical transients that contribute to the background noise, obscuring real astrophysically produced signals. To help this effort, there are a number of environmental and instrumental sensors around the site, recording data in “channels”. We developed a method called the used...
متن کاملCorrelated magnetic noise in global networks of gravitational-wave detectors: Observations and implications
One of the most ambitious goals of gravitational-wave astronomy is to observe the stochastic gravitational-wave background. Correlated noise in two or more detectors can introduce a systematic error, which limits the sensitivity of stochastic searches. We report on measurements of correlated magnetic noise from Schumann resonances at the widely separated LIGO and Virgo detectors. We investigate...

متن کاملSearch techniques for gravitational waves from black-hole ringdowns
The first kilometer-scale gravitational wave observatories, LIGO [1] and VIRGO [2], are expected to begin performing searches for astrophysical sources of gravitational waves in the year 2002. By this time, it will be necessary to have data analysis software for on-line searches. Because the anticipated signals are expected to be weak, near-optimal strategies for data analysis will be required ...
