The effects of LIGO detector noise on a 15-dimensional Markov-chain Monte-Carlo analysis of gravitational-wave signals

V. Raymond, M. V. van der Sluys, I. Mandel +3

Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave (…

Bayesian reconstruction of gravitational wave burst signals from simulations of rotating stellar core collapse and bounce

Christian Röver, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Nelson Christensen +3

Presented in this paper is a technique that we propose for extracting the physical parameters of a rotating stellar core collapse from the observation of the associated gravitation…

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…
