FINDCHIRP: an algorithm for detection of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries
arXiv:gr-qc/0509116 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.85.122006
Abstract
Matched-filter searches for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration use the FINDCHIRP algorithm: an implementation of the optimal filter with innovations to account for unknown signal parameters and to improve performance on detector data that has nonstationary and non-Gaussian artifacts. We provide details on the FINDCHIRP algorithm as used in the search for subsolar mass binaries, binary neutron stars, neutron star-black hole binaries, and binary black holes.
