Magnetar giant flares are rare and highly energetic phenomena observed in the transient sky whose emission mechanisms are still not fully understood. Depending on the nature of the excited modes of the magnetar, they are also expected to emit gravitational waves, which may bring unique information about the dynamics of the excitation. A few magnetar giant flares have been proposed to be associated to short gamma-ray bursts. In this paper we revisit, with a new gravitational-wave search algorithm, the possible emission of gravitational waves from four magnetar giant flares within 5 Mpc. While no gravitational-wave signals were observed, we discuss the future prospects of detecting signals with more sensitive gravitational-wave detectors. We in particular show that galactic magnetar giant flares that emit at least 1% of their electromagnetic energy as gravitational waves could be detected during the planned observing run of the LIGO and Virgo detectors at design sensitivity, with even better prospects for third generation detectors.

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in two sets of data collected by the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston detectors between November 5, 2005 and September 30, 2007, and July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010,
with a total observational time of 283.0 days and 132.9 days, respectively. The search targets gravitational wave transients of duration 10 - 500 s in a frequency band of 40 - 1000 Hz, with minimal assumptions about the signal waveform, polarization, source direction, or time of occurrence. All candidate triggers were consistent with the expected background; as a result we set 90% confidence upper limits on the rate of long-duration gravitational wave transients for different types of gravitational wave signals. For signals from black hole accretion disk instabilities, we set upper limits on the source rate density between $3.4 times 10^{-5}$ - $9.4 times 10^{-4}$ Mpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$ at 90% confidence. These are the first results from an all-sky search for unmodeled long-duration transient gravitational waves.
Soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars are thought to be magnetars, neutron stars with strong magnetic fields of order $mathord{sim} 10^{13}$--$10^{15} , mathrm{gauss}$. These objects emit intermittent bursts of hard X-rays and soft gamma r
ays. Quasiperiodic oscillations in the X-ray tails of giant flares imply the existence of neutron star oscillation modes which could emit gravitational waves powered by the magnetars magnetic energy reservoir. We describe a method to search for transient gravitational-wave signals associated with magnetar bursts with durations of 10s to 1000s of seconds. The sensitivity of this method is estimated by adding simulated waveforms to data from the sixth science run of Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). We find a search sensitivity in terms of the root sum square strain amplitude of $h_{mathrm{rss}} = 1.3 times 10^{-21} , mathrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$ for a half sine-Gaussian waveform with a central frequency $f_0 = 150 , mathrm{Hz}$ and a characteristic time $tau = 400 , mathrm{s}$. This corresponds to a gravitational wave energy of $E_{mathrm{GW}} = 4.3 times 10^{46} , mathrm{erg}$, the same order of magnitude as the 2004 giant flare which had an estimated electromagnetic energy of $E_{mathrm{EM}} = mathord{sim} 1.7 times 10^{46} (d/ 8.7 , mathrm{kpc})^2 , mathrm{erg}$, where $d$ is the distance to SGR 1806-20. We present an extrapolation of these results to Advanced LIGO, estimating a sensitivity to a gravitational wave energy of $E_{mathrm{GW}} = 3.2 times 10^{43} , mathrm{erg}$ for a magnetar at a distance of $1.6 , mathrm{kpc}$. These results suggest this search method can probe significantly below the energy budgets for magnetar burst emission mechanisms such as crust cracking and hydrodynamic deformation.
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the Advanced LIGO second observation run; we search for gravitational-wave transients of $2~text{--}~ 500$~s duration in the $24 - 2048$,Hz frequency
band with minimal assumptions about signal properties such as waveform morphologies, polarization, sky location or time of occurrence. Targeted signal models include fallback accretion onto neutron stars, broadband chirps from innermost stable circular orbit waves around rotating black holes, eccentric inspiral-merger-ringdown compact binary coalescence waveforms, and other models. The second observation run totals about otwoduration~days of coincident data between November 2016 and August 2017. We find no significant events within the parameter space that we searched, apart from the already-reported binary neutron star merger GW170817. We thus report sensitivity limits on the root-sum-square strain amplitude $h_{mathrm{rss}}$ at $50%$ efficiency. These sensitivity estimates are an improvement relative to the first observing run and also done with an enlarged set of gravitational-wave transient waveforms. Overall, the best search sensitivity is $h_{mathrm{rss}}^{50%}$=$2.7times10^{-22}$~$mathrm{Hz^{-1/2}}$ for a millisecond magnetar model. For eccentric compact binary coalescence signals, the search sensitivity reaches $h_{mathrm{rss}}^{50%}$=$9.6times10^{-22}$~$mathrm{Hz^{-1/2}}$.
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September 2015 and January 2016, with a total observational time of 49 days. Th
e search targets gravitational wave transients of unit[10 -- 500]{s} duration in a frequency band of unit[24 -- 2048]{Hz}, with minimal assumptions about the signal waveform, polarization, source direction, or time of occurrence. No significant events were observed. %All candidate triggers were consistent with the expected background, As a result we set 90% confidence upper limits on the rate of long-duration gravitational wave transients for different types of gravitational wave signals. We also show that the search is sensitive to sources in the Galaxy emitting at least $sim$ unit[$10^{-8}$]{$mathrm{M_{odot} c^2}$} in gravitational waves.
We present the results of a search for short and intermediate-duration gravitational-wave signals from four magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGOs second observing run. We find no evidence of a signal and set upper bounds on the root sum squared of the to
tal dimensionless strain ($h_{text{rss}}$) from incoming intermediate-duration gravitational waves ranging from $1.1 times 10^{-22}$ at 150 Hz to $4.4 times 10^{-22}$ at 1550 Hz at 50% detection efficiency. From the known distance to the magnetar SGR 1806-20 (8.7 kpc) we can place upper bounds on the isotropic gravitational wave energy of $3.4 times 10^{44} text{erg}$ at 150 Hz assuming optimal orientation. This represents an improvement of about a factor of 10 in strain sensitivity from the previous search for such signals, conducted during initial LIGOs sixth science run. The short duration search yielded upper limits of $2.1 times 10^{44} ,text{erg}$ for short white noise bursts, and $2.3times 10^{47},text{erg}$ for $100 , text{ms}$ long ringdowns at 1500 Hz, both at 50% detection efficiency.
