Robust Bayesian detection of unmodelled bursts
Antony C Searle, Patrick J Sutton, Massimo Tinto +1
A Bayesian treatment of the problem of detecting an unmodelled gravitational wave burst with a global network of gravitational wave observatories reveals that several previously pr…
Search of S3 LIGO data for gravitational wave signals from spinning black hole and neutron star binary inspirals
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on the methods and results of the first dedicated search for gravitational waves emitted during the inspiral of compact binaries with spinning component bodies. We analyz…
Report on the second Mock LISA Data Challenge
Stanislav Babak, John G. Baker, Matthew J. Benacquista +40
The Mock LISA Data Challenges are a program to demonstrate LISA data-analysis capabilities and to encourage their development. Each round of challenges consists of several data set…
A Uniqueness theorem for 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell black holes
Stefan Hollands, Stoytcho Yazadjiev
In a previous paper arXiv:0707.2775 [gr-qc] we showed that stationary asymptotically flat vacuum black hole solutions in 5 dimensions with two commuting axial Killing fields can be…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
Statefinder diagnostic for Yang-Mills dark energy model
Wen Zhao
We study the statefinder parameters in the Yang-Mills condensate dark energy models, and find that the evolving trajectories of these models are different from those of other dark…
Constraining the parameters of binary systems through time-dependent light deflection
Edmund Schluessel
A theory is derived relating the configuration of the cores of active galaxies, specifically candidates for presumed super-massive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), to time-dependent c…
A Joint Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts with AURIGA and LIGO
AURIGA Collaboration, LIGO Scientific Collaboration, L. Baggio et al
The first simultaneous operation of the AURIGA detector and the LIGO observatory was an opportunity to explore real data, joint analysis methods between two very different types of…
The Loudest Event Statistic: General Formulation, Properties and Applications
Rahul Biswas, Patrick R. Brady, Jolien D. E. Creighton +1
The use of the loudest observed event to generate statistical statements about rate and strength has become standard in searches for gravitational waves from compact binaries and p…
Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with 39 Gamma-Ray Bursts Using Data from the Second, Third, and Fourth LIGO Runs
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave bursts associated with 39 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by gamma-ray satellite experiments during LIGO's…
All-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S4 data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1000 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -1.0…
Interpreting the results of searches for gravitational waves from coalescing binaries
Stephen Fairhurst, Patrick Brady
We introduce a method based on the loudest event statistic to calculate an upper limit or interval on the astrophysical rate of binary coalescence. The calculation depends upon the…
Uniqueness theorem for 5-dimensional black holes with two axial Killing fields
Stefan Hollands, Stoytcho Yazadjiev
We show that two stationary, asymptotically flat vacuum black holes in 5 dimensions with two commuting axial symmetries are identical if and only if their masses, angular momenta,…
Gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries: hexagonal template placement and its efficiency in detecting physical signals
Thomas Cokelaer
Matched filtering is used to search for gravitational waves emitted by inspiralling compact binaries in data from the ground-based interferometers. One of the key aspects of the de…
Searching for Gravitational Waves from Binary Inspirals with LIGO
Duncan A. Brown, Stanislav Babak, Patrick R. Brady +9
We describe the current status of the search for gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binary systems in LIGO data. We review the result from the first scientific run of LI…
Renormalized Quantum Yang-Mills Fields in Curved Spacetime
Stefan Hollands
We present a proof that quantum Yang-Mills theory can be consistently defined as a renormalized, perturbative quantum field theory on an arbitrary globally hyperbolic curved, Loren…
Search for gravitational waves from binary inspirals in S3 and S4 LIGO data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on a search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of compact binaries during the third and fourth LIGO science runs. The search focused on gravitational waves gene…
Higher harmonics increase LISA's mass reach for supermassive black holes
K. G. Arun, Bala R. Iyer, B. S. Sathyaprakash +1
Current expectations on the signal to noise ratios and masses of supermassive black holes which the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) can observe are based on using in matc…
Search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO data from the fourth science run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
The fourth science run of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational-wave detectors, carried out in early 2005, collected data with significantly lower noise than previous science runs. We…
