Multivariate Classification with Random Forests for Gravitational Wave Searches of Black Hole Binary Coalescence

Paul T. Baker, Sarah Caudill, Kari A. Hodge +3

Searches for gravitational waves produced by coalescing black hole binaries with total masses M use matched filtering with templates of short duration. Non-Gau…

Projected Constraints on Lorentz-Violating Gravity with Gravitational Waves

Devin Hansen, Nicolas Yunes, Kent Yagi

Gravitational waves are excellent tools to probe the foundations of General Relativity in the strongly dynamical and non-linear regime. One such foundation is Lorentz symmetry, whi…

A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891

We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…

Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +867

In 2009-2010, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observa- tory (LIGO) operated together with international partners Virgo and GEO600 as a network to search for gravitation…

BayesLine: Bayesian Inference for Spectral Estimation of Gravitational Wave Detector Noise

Tyson B. Littenberg, Neil J. Cornish

Gravitational wave data from ground-based detectors is dominated by instrument noise. Signals will be comparatively weak, and our understanding of the noise will influence detectio…
