Searching for GRB-GWB coincidence during LIGO science runs

Isabel Leonor University of Oregon

LIGO-G050216-00-Z


Motivation
almost 40 years since GRBs were discovered past 15 years has been time of important "clues" isotropic and inhomogeneous distribution (BATSE); first optical, x-ray, radio counterparts; redshift measurements; association with core-collapse supernovae yet important questions remain as to origin, engine detection of coincident gravitational-waves would provide important information

The first GRB detected (Klebesadel, Strong, Olson)

Motivation
take advantage of readily-available and readilyaccessible GRB triggers
some GRBs with measured redshifts z ~ 1, but most GRBs don't have measured redshifts reduces trials of search

use definite GRBs as triggers triggers are from Swift, HETE, INTEGRAL, others search optimized for short-duration GW bursts
~1 to ~10 ms, e.g. supernova core-collapse models, late stage of inspiral mergers

Motivation
Swift is up and running ­ "catching GRBs on the fly"
"first GRB light" on December 17, 2004 has detected 23 GRBs since then expected average rate of >100 GRBs per year

prepare for S5 run
one year of coincident S5 run => ~100 GRB triggers more triggers means nearby GRB triggers more likely

Sequence of events for search (new for S4)
receive GCN (Global Coordinates Network)
RA, Dec, UT time

calculate GPS time and IFO-IFO time delay

submit condor jobs

search on-source segment for signal

search off-source segments (estimate probability)
March 23, 2005 Livingston, LA LSC Meeting I. Leonor 5


Search method -- crosscorrelation
each search segment is 180-seconds long, centered on GRB trigger time (less ~1.5 seconds at ends of segment) each 180-second segment conditioned (whitened and calibrated) use crosscorrelation windows of length 25 ms each, windows overlapping by half a window length calculate normalized crosscorrelation for each 25-ms second find largest crosscorrelation within each 180-second search segment, for H1-H2; find largest abs(cc) for H1L1 and H2-L1 due to unknown polarization

Data conditioning ­ whitening and phase correction
DFT1 condition this segment DFT2

data conditioning done in frequency domain data DFTed using 1-second Tukey windows adjacent 1-sec segments DFTed to determine factor for whitening in frequency domain whitening factor(f) = max(DFT1(f),DFT2(f)) use phase calibration to correct signal phase

False alarm probability vs. integration length for short duration signals (~1 ­ ~10 ms)
probability for getting median of simulated on-source distribution, given off-source distribution probability takes into account trials in search probability is function of length of crosscorrelation window small window: 1/sqrt(N); more trials large window: more noise integrated

The S4/S3/S2 GRB Samples
S4: 6 GRBs with at least double coincidence (2 with redshift)
4 for H1-H2 3 for H1-L1 3 for H2-L1

S3: 11 GRBs with at least double coincidence (0 with redshift)
11 for H1-H2 1 for H1-L1 1 for H2-L1

S2: 29 GRBs with at least double coincidence (3 with redshift)
23 for H1-H2 7 for H1-L1 7 for H2-L1

only well-localized GRBs considered for H1-L1, H2-L1 search

After-trials probability distribution
http://www.uoregon.edu/~ileonor/ligo/s4/grb/online/s4grbs_online.html

local off-source distribution determined for each IFO pair for each GRB trigger distribution determined from searches within science segments occurring within a few hours of GRB trigger largest crosscorrelation found in each on-source search indicated by black arrow probability is estimated using this distribution

Hardware injections search (H1-H2)
looked at hardware injections using 10-second search duration (spacing of injections) instead of 180 seconds significant fraction had cc above after-trials distribution detection times consistent with injection times

Hardware injections search (H1-L1, H2-L1)

H1-L1 better "detection" rate than H1-H2 or H2-L1, as expected

What are the odds? Current S4 results
calculate after-trials probability using off-source distribution test sample distribution using K-S test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) probability that measured statistic will be larger under null hypothesis: p = 0.70 consistent with null hypothesis
