dc.description.abstract	We report on a preliminary matched filtering analysis of light curves of 44 long GRBs randomly selected from the Swift/BAT catalogue. An optimal match is found between a normalized light curve to a template for black hole spin-down against matter at the Inner Most Stable Circular Orbit (ISCO), that includes gravitational wave emissions. Our results confirm earlier findings on the basis of 600 long GRBs light curves of the BATSE/CGRO catalogue.	en_US
