Massive Black Hole Binary Inspirals: Results from the LISA Parameter Estimation Taskforce
K. G. Arun, Stas Babak, Emanuele Berti +14
The LISA Parameter Estimation (LISAPE) Taskforce was formed in September 2007 to provide the LISA Project with vetted codes, source distribution models, and results related to para…
Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2
We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…
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…
Resolving Super Massive Black Holes with LISA
Stanislav Babak, Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa +1
We study the angular resolution of the gravitational wave detector LISA and show that numerical relativity can drastically improve the accuracy of position location for coalescing…
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…
Beating the spin-down limit on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, R. Abbott +440
We present direct upper limits on gravitational wave emission from the Crab pulsar using data from the first nine months of the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravit…
A Constrained Metropolis-Hastings Search for EMRIs in the Mock LISA Data Challenge 1B
Jonathan R. Gair, Edward K. Porter, Stanislav Babak +1
We describe a search for the extreme-mass-ratio inspiral sources in the Round 1B Mock LISA Data Challenge data sets. The search algorithm is a Monte-Carlo search based on the Metro…
Building a stochastic template bank for detecting massive black hole binaries
Stanislav Babak
Coalescence of two massive black holes is the strongest and most promising source for LISA. In fact, gravitational signal from the end of inspiral and merger will be detectable thr…
