First upper limits from LIGO on gravitational wave bursts

Abstract: We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts using data from the first science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors. Our search focuses on bursts with durations ranging from 4 to 100 ms, 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 a 90% confidence level. This result is interpreted in terms of the detection efficiency for ad hoc waveforms (Gaussians and s… Show more

“…Searches for gravitational-wave bursts have been made by a number of groups [16,17,18,19]. These searches generally take an unbiased approach by using time-frequency methods to identify excess power in the data stream.…”

“…Intuitively, it is clear that measuring these waves must be difficult -the weakness of the gravitational interaction ensures that the response of any detector to gravitational waves is very small. Nonetheless, technology has brought us to the point where detectors are now beginning to set interesting upper limits on GWs from some sources [84][85][86][87]. The first direct detection could be,hopefully, not too far in the future.…”
