Prospects for true calorimetry on Kerr black holes in core-collapse supernovae and mergers

Abstract

Observational evidence for black hole spin down has been found in the normalized light curves of long GRBs in the BATSE catalogue. Over the duration of the burst, matter swept up by the central black hole is susceptible to non-axisymmetries producing gravitational radiation with a negative chirp. A time sliced matched filtering method is introduced to capture phase-coherence on intermediate timescales, , here tested by injection of templates into experimental strain noise, . For TAMA 300, Hz at kHz gives a sensitivity distance for a reasonably accurate extraction of the trajectory in the time frequency domain of about Mpc for spin fown of black holes of mass with s. Extrapolation to advanced detectors implies Mpc for Hz around 1 kHz, which will open a new window to rigorous calorimetry on Kerr black holes.
