All Vacuum Near-Horizon Geometries in -dimensions with Commuting Rotational Symmetries
Stefan Hollands, Akihiro Ishibashi
We explicitly construct all stationary, non-static, extremal near horizon geometries in dimensions that satisfy the vacuum Einstein equations, and that have commuting rot…
Inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms for black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins
P. Ajith, M. Hannam, S. Husa +9
We present the first analytical inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveforms from binary black holes (BBHs) with non-precessing spins, that is based on a description of the lat…
Current status of gravitational-wave observations
Stephen Fairhurst, Gianluca M Guidi, Patrice Hello +2
The first generation of gravitational wave interferometric detectors has taken data at, or close to, their design sensitivity. This data has been searched for a broad range of grav…
A stochastic template placement algorithm for gravitational wave data analysis
Ian Harry, Bruce Allen, B. S. Sathyaprakash
This paper presents an algorithm for constructing matched-filter template banks in an arbitrary parameter space. The method places templates at random, then removes those which are…
X-Pipeline: An analysis package for autonomous gravitational-wave burst searches
Patrick J. Sutton, Gareth Jones, Shourov Chatterji +8
Autonomous gravitational-wave searches -- fully automated analyses of data that run without human intervention or assistance -- are desirable for a number of reasons. They are nece…
Triangulation of gravitational wave sources with a network of detectors
Stephen Fairhurst
There is significant benefit to be gained by pursuing multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations. In order to undertake electromagnetic foll…
Comparison of post-Newtonian templates for compact binary inspiral signals in gravitational-wave detectors
Alessandra Buonanno, Bala Iyer, Evan Ochsner +2
The two-body dynamics in general relativity has been solved perturbatively using the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation. The evolution of the orbital phase and the emitted gravitati…
Detecting relics of a thermal gravitational wave background in the early Universe
W. Zhao, D. Baskaran, P. Coles
A thermal gravitational wave background can be produced in the early Universe if a radiation dominated epoch precedes the usual inflationary stage. This background provides a uniqu…
Stable indications of relic gravitational waves in Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data and forecasts for the Planck mission
W. Zhao, D. Baskaran, L. P. Grishchuk
The relic gravitational waves (gw) are the cleanest probe of the violent times in the very early history of the Universe. They are expected to leave signatures in the observed cosm…
Status of NINJA: the Numerical INJection Analysis project
Benjamin Aylott, John G. Baker, William D. Boggs +74
The 2008 NRDA conference introduced the Numerical INJection Analysis project (NINJA), a new collaborative effort between the numerical relativity community and the data analysis co…
Einstein@Home search for periodic gravitational waves in early S5 LIGO data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
This paper reports on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from sources such as deformed isolated rapidly-spinning neutron stars. The analysis uses 840 hours of data…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in 186 Days of LIGO's fifth Science Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries, of total mass between 2 and 35 Msun, using LIGO observations between November 14, 2006 and May 18, 2…
Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for exa…
Search for gravitational-wave bursts in the first year of the fifth LIGO science run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. P. Abbott
We present the results obtained from an all-sky search for gravitational-wave (GW) bursts in the 64-2000 Hz frequency range in data collected by the LIGO detectors during the first…
Response of a spaceborne gravitational wave antenna to solar oscillations
A. G. Polnarev, I. W. Roxburgh, D. Baskaran
We investigate the possibility of observing very small amplitude low frequency solar oscillations with the proposed laser interferometer space antenna (LISA). For frequencies b…
Some Uncomfortable Thoughts on the Nature of Gravity, Cosmology, and the Early Universe
L P Grishchuk
A specific theoretical framework is important for designing and conducting an experiment, and for interpretation of its results. The field of gravitational physics is expanding, an…
Template banks to search for compact binaries with spinning components in gravitational wave data
Chris Van Den Broeck, Duncan A. Brown, Thomas Cokelaer +5
Gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries are one of the most promising sources for detectors such as LIGO, Virgo and GEO600. If the components of the binary posess sign…
Search for High Frequency Gravitational Wave Bursts in the First Calendar Year of LIGO's Fifth Science Run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We present an all-sky search for gravitational waves in the frequency range 1 to 6 kHz during the first calendar year of LIGO's fifth science run. This is the first untriggered LIG…
Searching for gravitational-wave signals emitted by eccentric compact binaries using a non-eccentric template bank: implications for ground-based detectors
T Cokelaer, D Pathak
Most of the inspiralling compact binaries are expected to be circularized by the time their gravitational-wave signals enter the frequency band of ground-based detectors such as LI…
