Search for gravitational wave bursts in LIGO's third science run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts in data from the three LIGO interferometric detectors during their third science run. The search targets subsecond bursts in the…
Accessibility of the Pre-Big-Bang Models to LIGO
Vuk Mandic, Alessandra Buonanno
The recent search for a stochastic background of gravitational waves with LIGO interferometers has produced a new upper bound on the amplitude of this background in the 100 Hz regi…
Transition from inspiral to plunge in precessing binaries of spinning black holes
Alessandra Buonanno, Yanbei Chen, Thibault Damour
We investigate the non-adiabatic dynamics of spinning black hole binaries by using an analytical Hamiltonian completed with a radiation-reaction force, containing spin couplings, w…
Detecting gravitational waves from precessing binaries of spinning compact objects. II. Search implementation for low-mass binaries
Alessandra Buonanno, Yanbei Chen, Yi Pan +2
Detection template families (DTFs) are built to capture the essential features of true gravitational waveforms using a small set of phenomenological waveform parameters. Buonanno,…
Testing general relativity and probing the merger history of massive black holes with LISA
Emanuele Berti, Alessandra Buonanno, Clifford M. Will
Observations of binary inspirals with LISA will allow us to place bounds on alternative theories of gravity and to study the merger history of massive black holes (MBH). These poss…
