Optimizing optical follow-up of gravitational-wave candidates
Leo Singer, Larry Price, Antony Speranza
Observations with interferometric gravitational-wave detectors result in probability sky maps that are multimodal and spread over 10-100 deg^2. We present a scheme for maximizing t…
Likelihood-ratio ranking of gravitational-wave candidates in a non-Gaussian background
Rahul Biswas, Patrick R. Brady, Jordi Burguet-Castell +9
We describe a general approach to detection of transient gravitational-wave signals in the presence of non-Gaussian background noise. We prove that under quite general conditions,…
Implications For The Origin Of GRB 051103 From LIGO Observations
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +568
We present the results of a LIGO search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with GRB 051103, a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose electromagnetically det…
Detecting transient gravitational waves in non-Gaussian noise with partially redundant analysis methods
Rahul Biswas, Patrick R. Brady, Jordi Burguet-Castell +9
There is a broad class of astrophysical sources that produce detectable, transient, gravitational waves. Some searches for transient gravitational waves are tailored to known featu…
