“…A point of interest for current analyses that GW detectors are carrying out (see e.g., Acernese et al 2008a;Abbott et al 2008aAbbott et al , 2008b) is that the scenario described here involves a new class of GW signals, which should be searched for in coincidence with GRBs. These would have a longer duration (10 3 -10 4 s) and a different frequency evolution than the type of GW signals currently considered to be possibly associated with GRBs.…”

The existence of a shallow decay phase in the early X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts is a common feature. Here we investigate the possibility that this is connected to the formation of a highly magnetized millisecond pulsar, pumping energy into the fireball on timescales longer than the prompt emission. In this scenario, the nascent neutron star could undergo a secular bar-mode instability, leading to gravitational wave losses which would affect the neutron star spin-down. In this case, nearby gamma-ray bursts with isotropic energies of the order of 10 50 ergs would produce a detectable gravitational wave signal emitted in association with an observed X-ray light-curve plateau, over relatively long timescales of minutes to about an hour. The peak amplitude of the gravitational wave signal would be delayed with respect to the gamma-ray burst trigger, offering gravitational wave interferometers such as the advanced LIGO and Virgo the challenging possibility of catching its signature on the fly.

“…This was followed by a search for GWBs coincident with 39 GRBs which were detected during the second, third, and fourth LIGO science runs (Abbott et al 2008b). Data from the Virgo detector were used to search for a GWB associated with GRB 050915a (Acernese et al 2007(Acernese et al , 2008a. Most recently, data from the fifth LIGO science run were analyzed to search for a GWB or binary coalescence inspiral signal from GRB 070201 (Abbott et al 2008a).…”

We present the results of a search for gravitational-wave bursts (GWBs) associated with 137 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-ray experiments during the fifth LIGO science run and first Virgo science run. The data used in this analysis were collected from 2005 November 4 to 2007 October 1, and most of the GRB triggers were from the Swift satellite. The search uses a coherent network analysis method that takes into account the different locations and orientations of the interferometers at the three LIGO-Virgo sites. We find no evidence for GWB signals associated with this sample of GRBs. Using simulated short-duration No. 2, 2010 SEARCH FOR GWBs ASSOCIATED WITH GRBs USING LIGO AND VIRGO 1441 (<1 s) waveforms, we set upper limits on the amplitude of gravitational waves associated with each GRB. We also place lower bounds on the distance to each GRB under the assumption of a fixed energy emission in gravitational waves, with a median limit of D ∼ 12 Mpc(E iso GW /0.01 M c 2 ) 1/2 for emission at frequencies around 150 Hz, where the LIGO-Virgo detector network has best sensitivity. We present astrophysical interpretations and implications of these results, and prospects for corresponding searches during future LIGO-Virgo runs.

Numerical and Analytical Solutions of Neutrino-Dominated Accretion Flows With a Non-Zero Torque Boundary Condition and Its Applications in Gamma-Ray Bursts

A stellar mass black hole (BH) surrounded by a neutrino-dominated accretion flow (NDAF) has been discussed in a number of works as the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). It is widely believed that NDAF cannot liberate enough energy for bright GRBs. However, these works have been based on the assumption of "no torque" boundary condition, which is invalid when the disk is magnetized. In this paper, we present both numerical and analytical solutions for NDAFs with non-zero boundary stresses, and reexamine their properties. We find that NDAF with such boundary torque can be powerful enough to account for those bright short GRBs, energetic long GRBs and ultra-long GRBs. The disk becomes viscously unstable, which makes it possible to interpret the variability of GRB prompt emission and the steep decay phase in the early X-ray afterglow. Finally, we study the gravitational waves radiated from a processing BH-NDAF. We find that the effects of the boundary torque on the strength of the gravitational waves can be ignored.
