Benefits of joint LIGO -- Virgo coincidence searches for burst and inspiral signals
F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard, L. Blackburn +22
We examine the benefits of performing a joint LIGO--Virgo search for transient signals. We do this by adding burst and inspiral signals to 24 hours of simulated detector data. We f…
Detailed comparison of LIGO and Virgo Inspiral Pipelines in Preparation for a Joint Search
F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard, L. Blackburn +27
Presented in this paper is a detailed and direct comparison of the LIGO and Virgo binary neutron star detection pipelines. In order to test the search programs, numerous inspiral s…
A first comparison of search methods for gravitational wave bursts using LIGO and Virgo simulated data
L. Blackburn, F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard +20
We present a comparative study of 6 search methods for gravitational wave bursts using simulated LIGO and Virgo noise data. The data's spectra were chosen to follow the design sens…
A comparison of methods for gravitational wave burst searches from LIGO and Virgo
F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard, L. Blackburn +27
The search procedure for burst gravitational waves has been studied using 24 hours of simulated data in a network of three interferometers (Hanford 4-km, Livingston 4-km and Virgo…
A First Comparison Between LIGO and Virgo Inspiral Search Pipelines
L. Blackburn, F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard +20
This article reports on a project that is the first step the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have taken to prepare for the mutual search for inspiral sign…
