Degeneracy between mass and spin in black-hole-binary waveforms
Emily Baird, Stephen Fairhurst, Mark Hannam +1
We explore the degeneracy between mass and spin in gravitational waveforms emitted by black-hole binary coalescences. We focus on spin-aligned waveforms and obtain our results usin…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Binary Black Hole Inspiral, Merger and Ringdown in LIGO-Virgo Data from 2009-2010
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +800
We report a search for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of binary black holes (BBH) with total mass between 25 and 100 solar masses, in data taken at the…
Is black-hole ringdown a memory of its progenitor?
Ioannis Kamaretsos, Mark Hannam, B. Sathyaprakash
We have performed an extensive numerical study of coalescing black-hole binaries to understand the gravitational-wave spectrum of quasi-normal modes excited in the merged black hol…
Searching for gravitational waves from binary coalescence
S. Babak, R. Biswas, P. R. Brady +25
We describe the implementation of a search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences in LIGO and Virgo data. This all-sky, all-time, multi-detector search for binary…
Einstein@Home all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO S5 data
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +794
This paper presents results of an all-sky searches for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range [50, 1190] Hz and with frequency derivative ranges of [-2 x 10^-9, 1.1 x…
The Black Hole Remnant of Black Hole-Neutron Star Coalescing Binaries
Francesco Pannarale
We present a model for determining the dimensionless spin parameter and mass of the black hole remnant of black hole-neutron star mergers with parallel orbital angular momentum and…
Towards models of gravitational waveforms from generic binaries: A simple approximate mapping between precessing and non-precessing inspiral signals
Patricia Schmidt, Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa
One of the greatest theoretical challenges in the build-up to the era of second-generation gravitational-wave detectors is the modeling of generic binary waveforms. We introduce an…
Scientific Objectives of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +222
The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detec…
Black hole uniqueness theorems in higher dimensional spacetimes
Stefan Hollands, Akihiro Ishibashi
We review uniqueness theorems as well as other general results about higher dimensional black hole spacetimes. This includes in particular theorems about the topology of higher dim…
Improved source localization with LIGO India
Stephen Fairhurst
A global network of advanced gravitational wave interferometric detectors is under construction. These detectors will offer an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over th…
An efficient iterative method to reduce eccentricity in numerical-relativity simulations of compact binary inspiral
Michael Pürrer, Sascha Husa, Mark Hannam
We present a new iterative method to reduce eccentricity in black-hole-binary simulations. Given a good first estimate of low-eccentricity starting momenta, we evolve puncture init…
Black hole uniqueness theorems and new thermodynamic identities in eleven dimensional supergravity
Stefan Hollands
We consider stationary, non-extremal black holes in 11-dimensional supergravity having isometry group . We prove that such a black hole is uniquely specif…
Prospects for transient gravitational waves at r-mode frequencies associated with pulsar glitches
I. Santiago-Prieto, I. S. Heng, D. I. Jones +1
Glitches in pulsars are likely to trigger oscillation modes in the fluid interior of neutron stars. We examined these oscillations specifically at r-mode frequencies. The excited r…
The characterization of Virgo data and its impact on gravitational-wave searches
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +798
Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phen…
All-sky search for gravitational-wave bursts in the second joint LIGO-Virgo run
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +786
We present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts in the data collected by the LIGO and Virgo detectors between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010: data are analyzed wh…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Intermediate Mass Binary Black Holes
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +790
We present the results of a weakly modeled burst search for gravitational waves from mergers of non-spinning intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in the total mass range 100--450 s…
Performance of an externally triggered gravitational-wave burst search
Michal Was, Patrick J. Sutton, Gareth Jones +1
We present the performance of searches for gravitational wave bursts associated with external astrophysical triggers as a function of the search sky region. We discuss both the cas…
A Mock Data Challenge for the Einstein Gravitational-Wave Telescope
Tania Regimbau, Thomas Dent, Walter Del Pozzo +8
Einstein Telescope (ET) is conceived to be a third generation gravitational-wave observatory. Its amplitude sensitivity would be a factor ten better than advanced LIGO and Virgo an…
Stability of Black Holes and Black Branes
Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald
We establish a new criterion for the dynamical stability of black holes in spacetime dimensions in general relativity with respect to axisymmetric perturbations: Dynamic…
