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 کاملA powerful veto for gravitational wave searches
The use of vetoes generated from auxiliary channels suppresses most of the high amplitude noise triggers that impair gravitational wave (GW) burst and binary inspiral searches. During Virgo’s first scientific run (VSR1), many of the remaining loud burst and inspiral Virgo triggers were observed with nearly equal significance in both the in-phase (ACp) and quadrature (ACq) interferometer output ...
متن کاملSensitivity curves for searches for gravitational-wave backgrounds
We propose a graphical representation of detector sensitivity curves for stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds that takes into account the increase in sensitivity that comes from integrating over frequency in addition to integrating over time. This method is valid for backgrounds that have a power-law spectrum in the analysis band. We call these graphs ‘‘power-law integrated curves.’’ For s...
متن کاملDeep Searches for Young Pulsars
By 2000 there were only 10 established Galactic pulsar– supernova remnant associations. Two years later there are 16 such associations known. I discuss the work leading to this substantial increase. In particular I summarize an ongoing search project that has resulted in the detection of several young pulsars with a very low radio luminosity of about 1mJy kpc at 1.4GHz, and comment on future pr...
متن کاملSeedless clustering in all-sky searches for gravitational-wave transients
The problem of searching for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts can be thought of as a pattern recognition problem: how to find statistically significant clusters in spectrograms of strain power when the precise signal morphology is unknown. In a previous publication, we showed how “seedless clustering” can be used to dramatically improve the sensitivity of searches for long-lived gravitationa...
