New class of post-Newtonian approximants to the waveform templates of inspiralling compact binaries: Test-mass in the Schwarzschild spacetime

P. Ajith, Bala R. Iyer, C. A. K. Robinson +1

(Abridged): The standard adiabatic approximation to phasing of gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries uses the post-Newtonian expansions of the binding energy and g…

Parameter estimation of inspiralling compact binaries using 3.5 post-Newtonian gravitational wave phasing: The non-spinning case

K. G. Arun, Bala R Iyer, B. S. Sathyaprakash +1

(Abridged) We revisit the problem of parameter estimation of gravitational-wave chirp signals from inspiralling non-spinning compact binaries in the light of the recent extension o…

The art and science of black hole mergers

Bernard F. Schutz

The merger of two black holes is one of the most extraordinary events in the natural world. Made of pure gravity, the holes combine to form a single hole, emitting a strong burst o…

Limits on gravitational wave emission from selected pulsars using LIGO data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1

We place direct upper limits on the amplitude of gravitational waves from 28 isolated radio pulsars by a coherent multi-detector analysis of the data collected during the second sc…

The Hough transform search for continuous gravitational waves

Badri Krishnan, Alicia M. Sintes, M. A. Papa +3

This paper describes an incoherent method to search for continuous gravitational waves based on the Hough transform, a well known technique used for detecting patterns in digital i…

Improved gravitational waveforms from spinning black hole binaries

Edward K. Porter, B. S. Sathyaprakash

The standard post-Newtonian approximation to gravitational waveforms, called T-approximants, from non-spinning black hole binaries are known not to be sufficiently accurate close t…

Gravitational Radiation - Observing the Dark and Dense Universe

B. S. Sathyaprakash

Astronomical observations in the electromagnetic window - microwave, radio and optical - have revealed that most of the Universe is dark. The only reason we know that dark matter e…

Optimal combination of signals from co-located gravitational wave interferometers for use in searches for a stochastic background

A. Lazzarini, S. Bose, P. Fritschel +7

This article derives an optimal (i.e., unbiased, minimum variance) estimator for the pseudo-detector strain for a pair of co-located gravitational wave interferometers (such as the…
