Implications for the Origin of GRB 070201 from LIGO Observations

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Hurley, K.

Understand

We analyzed the available LIGO data coincident with GRB 070201, a short duration hard spectrum gamma-ray burst whose electromagnetically determined sky position is coincident with the spiral arms of the Andromeda galaxy (M31).

Possible progenitors of such short hard GRBs include mergers of neutron stars or a neutron star and black hole, or soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) flares.
These events can be accompanied by gravitational-wave emission.
No plausible gravitational wave candidates were found within a 180 s long window around the time of GRB 070201.
