Results from LIGO's second science run: a search for continuous
gravitational waves Michael Landry for the LIGO Scientific Collaboration
LIGO Hanford Observatory/Caltech - The Laser Interferometer
Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) was operated from Feb 14 - Apr 14
2003, comprising the second science run for the project. These data have
been analyzed for evidence of gravitational waves emitted by several
classes of potential sources, including continuous wave sources such as
spinning neutron stars. A brief overview of the interferometers and
detection scheme is presented, followed by a discussion of the
methodology and results of the search for continuous gravitational
waves. Plans for future analyses are outlined. This work is being
supported by National Science Foundation.
