Parameter estimation on gravitational waves from multiple coalescing binaries

Ilya Mandel

Future ground-based and space-borne interferometric gravitational-wave detectors may capture between tens and thousands of binary coalescence events per year. There is a significan…

Detecting coalescences of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters with the Einstein Telescope

Ilya Mandel, Jonathan R. Gair, M. Coleman Miller

We discuss the capability of a third-generation ground-based detector such as the Einstein Telescope to detect mergers of intermediate-mass black holes that may have formed through…

The effects of LIGO detector noise on a 15-dimensional Markov-chain Monte-Carlo analysis of gravitational-wave signals

V. Raymond, M. V. van der Sluys, I. Mandel +3

Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave (…

Compact Binary Coalescences in the Band of Ground-based Gravitational-Wave Detectors

Ilya Mandel, Richard O'Shaughnessy

As the ground-based gravitational-wave telescopes LIGO, Virgo, and GEO 600 approach the era of first detections, we review the current knowledge of the coalescence rates and the ma…

An Upper Limit on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background of Cosmological Origin

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmologica…

Probing seed black holes using future gravitational-wave detectors

Jonathan R Gair, Ilya Mandel, Alberto Sesana +1

Identifying the properties of the first generation of seeds of massive black holes is key to understanding the merger history and growth of galaxies. Mergers between ~100 solar mas…
