Prospects for joint radio telescope and gravitational wave searches for astrophysical transients
V. Predoi, J. Clark, T. Creighton +11
The radio skies remain mostly unobserved when it comes to transient phenomena. The direct detection of gravitational waves will mark a major milestone of modern astronomy, as an en…
Bayesian coherent analysis of in-spiral gravitational wave signals with a detector network
John Veitch, Alberto Vecchio
The present operation of the ground-based network of gravitational-wave laser interferometers in "enhanced" configuration brings the search for gravitational waves into a regime wh…
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…
Status of NINJA: the Numerical INJection Analysis project
Benjamin Aylott, John G. Baker, William D. Boggs +74
The 2008 NRDA conference introduced the Numerical INJection Analysis project (NINJA), a new collaborative effort between the numerical relativity community and the data analysis co…
Studying stellar binary systems with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna using Delayed Rejection Markov chain Monte Carlo methods
Miquel Trias, Alberto Vecchio, John Veitch
Bayesian analysis of LISA data sets based on Markov chain Monte Carlo methods has been shown to be a challenging problem, in part due to the complicated structure of the likelihood…
Delayed rejection schemes for efficient Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo sampling of multimodal distributions
Miquel Trias, Alberto Vecchio, John Veitch
A number of problems in a variety of fields are characterised by target distributions with a multimodal structure in which the presence of several isolated local maxima dramaticall…
Observing gravitational waves from the first generation of black holes
Alberto Sesana, Jonathan Gair, Ilya Mandel +1
The properties of the first generation of black-hole seeds trace and distinguish different models of formation of cosmic structure in the high-redshift universe. The observational…
Testing gravitational-wave searches with numerical relativity waveforms: Results from the first Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project
Benjamin Aylott, John G. Baker, William D. Boggs +74
The Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project is a collaborative effort between members of the numerical relativity and gravitational-wave data analysis communities. The purpose…
