Abstract:
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 (<1s) 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∼12Mpc(EisoGW/0.01M☉c2)1/2 for emission at frequencies
around 150Hz, where the LIGO-Virgo detector network has best
sensitivity.

Note (1): The GRB was also included in the template-based search for binary
inspiral gravitational-wave signals presented in Abadie et al.
(2010ApJ...715.1453A 2010ApJ...715.1453A).
Note (2): The distances are lower limits, assuming isotropic emission of
EisoGW=0.01M☉c2=1.8x1052erg in gravitational waves, and
scale as D∝(EisoGW)1/2. These limits include allowances
for systematics as discussed in Section 6.2.
