Report on the second Mock LISA Data Challenge
Stanislav Babak, John G. Baker, Matthew J. Benacquista +40
The Mock LISA Data Challenges are a program to demonstrate LISA data-analysis capabilities and to encourage their development. Each round of challenges consists of several data set…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
Time-frequency analysis of extreme-mass-ratio inspiral signals in mock LISA data
Jonathan R Gair, Ilya Mandel, Linqing Wen
Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) of ~ 1-10 solar-mass compact objects into ~ million solar-mass massive black holes can serve as excellent probes of strong-field general relati…
Gravitational-Wave Astronomy with Inspiral Signals of Spinning Compact-Object Binaries
M. V. van der Sluys, C. Roever, A. Stroeer +6
Inspiral signals from binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, V…
Observable Properties of Orbits in Exact Bumpy Spacetimes
Jonathan R Gair, Chao Li, Ilya Mandel
We explore the properties of test-particle orbits in "bumpy" spacetimes - stationary, reflection-symmetric, asymptotically flat solutions of Einstein equations that have a non-Kerr…
Spin distribution following minor mergers and the effect of spin on the detection range for low-mass-ratio inspirals
Ilya Mandel
We compute the probability distribution for the spin of a black hole following a series of minor mergers with isotropically distributed, non-spinning, inspiraling compact objects.…
