Implementing a search for aligned-spin neutron star -- black hole systems with advanced ground based gravitational wave detectors
arXiv:1405.6731 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.90.082004
Abstract
We study the effect of spins on searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences in realistic simulated early advanced LIGO data. We construct a detection pipeline including matched filtering, signal-based vetoes, a coincidence test between different detectors, and an estimate of the rate of background events. We restrict attention to neutron star--black hole (NS-BH) binary systems, and we compare a search using non-spinning templates to one using templates that include spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum. To run the searches we implement the binary inspiral matched-filter computation in PyCBC, a new software toolkit for gravitational-wave data analysis. We find that the inclusion of aligned-spin effects significantly increases the astrophysical reach of the search. Considering astrophysical NS-BH systems with non-precessing black hole spins, for dimensionless spin components along the orbital angular momentum uniformly distributed in , the sensitive volume of the search with aligned-spin templates is increased by compared to the non-spinning search; for signals with aligned spins uniformly distributed in the range , the increase in sensitive volume is a factor of .
