Assigning confidence to inspiral gravitational wave candidates with Bayesian model selection
John Veitch, Alberto Vecchio
Bayesian model selection provides a powerful and mathematically transparent framework to tackle hypothesis testing, such as detection tests of gravitational waves emitted during th…
First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…
The Mock LISA Data Challenges: from Challenge 1B to Challenge 3
Stanislav Babak, John G. Baker, Matthew J. Benacquista +27
The Mock LISA Data Challenges are a programme to demonstrate and encourage the development of LISA data-analysis capabilities, tools and techniques. At the time of this workshop, t…
Parameter estimation of spinning binary inspirals using Markov-chain Monte Carlo
Marc van der Sluys, Vivien Raymond, Ilya Mandel +5
We present a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) technique to study the source parameters of gravitational-wave signals from the inspirals of stellar-mass compact binaries detected wit…
Search for a stochastic gravitational-wave signal in the second round of the Mock LISA Data Challenges
E. L. Robinson, J. D. Romano, A. Vecchio
The analysis method currently proposed to search for isotropic stochastic radiation of primordial or astrophysical origin with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) relies…
Markov chain Monte Carlo searches for Galactic binaries in Mock LISA Data Challenge 1B data sets
Miquel Trias, Alberto Vecchio, John Veitch
We are developing a Bayesian approach based on Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques to search for and extract information about white dwarf binary systems with the Laser Interferome…
Triple Michelson Interferometer for a Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Detector
A. Freise, S. Chelkowski, S. Hild +3
The upcoming European design study `Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope' represents the first step towards a substantial, international effort for the design of a third-generatio…
A Bayesian approach to the follow-up of candidate gravitational wave signals
John Veitch, Alberto Vecchio
Ground-based gravitational wave laser interferometers (LIGO, GEO-600, Virgo and Tama-300) have now reached high sensitivity and duty cycle. We present a Bayesian evidence-based app…
