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…
A template bank for gravitational waveforms from coalescing binary black holes: non-spinning binaries
P. Ajith, S. Babak, Y. Chen +15
Gravitational waveforms from the inspiral and ring-down stages of the binary black hole coalescences can be modelled accurately by approximation/perturbation techniques in general…
Searching for Gravitational Waves from Binary Inspirals with LIGO
Duncan A. Brown, Stanislav Babak, Patrick R. Brady +9
We describe the current status of the search for gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binary systems in LIGO data. We review the result from the first scientific run of LI…
Phenomenological template family for black-hole coalescence waveforms
P. Ajith, S. Babak, Y. Chen +15
Recent progress in numerical relativity has enabled us to model the non-perturbative merger phase of the binary black-hole coalescence problem. Based on these results, we propose a…
Intermediate and Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals -- Astrophysics, Science Applications and Detection using LISA
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Jonathan R. Gair, Marc Freitag +4
Black hole binaries with extreme () or intermediate () mass ratios are among the most interesting gravitational wave sources that are expected to…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
