Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift during the LIGO–Virgo Run O3a

Abstract: We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (2019 April 1 15:00 UTC-2019 October 1 15:00 UTC). A total of 105 GRBs were analyzed using a search for generic gravitational-wave transients; 32 GRBs were analyzed with a search that specifically targets neutron star binary mergers as short GRB progenitors. We find no significant evidence for gravitat… Show more

“…The gamma and X-ray observations involved energies extending up to ∼ 1 TeV. The majority of high-energy searches reported no candidates [432,441,450,458,470,484,535,551,552].…”

“…Gating is used extensively in LVK analyses. Pre-whitening gating is currently used by several CBC search algorithms ( PyCBC [76], MBTA [78], PyGRB [150]) as well as a search for generic transients (X-pipeline [151]). This method has been used in low latency analyses [152] to manually mitigate loud glitches before localizing the source of gravitational-wave signals.…”

“…It can be found from Figure 5 and Table 4 that it is not only SGRBs that are harder than LGRBs, but noncollapse GRBs are also significantly harder than core-collapsing ones. In particular, Figure 5 shows the comparison of these normal GRBs with some special GRBs including SN/GRBs 101219B, 100418A, 091127, 090618, 080319B, 050824, 050525A, and 050416 (Chandra & Frail 2012;); X-ray flashes (XRFs) including 060428B, 051109B, 050416A, and 050215B (Chandra & Frail 2012;); gravitational-wave (GW) associated GRBs 060614, 070923, and 170817A (Abbott et al 2017b(Abbott et al , 2021; fast radio burst (FRB)associated GRBs 100704A and 101011A (Bannister et al 2012); and GRB 090429B, with the highest redshift of z ∼ 9.4 (Cucchiara et al 2011). It can be easily seen that only GWassociated and short GRBs are consistently distributed in the log HR 32 -log T 90 plane and all other special bursts consisting of XRFs, FRB/SN-associated and high-redshift GRBs are distributed within the region of long GRBs.…”
