Treatment of Calibration Uncertainty in Multi-Baseline Cross-Correlation Searches for Gravitational Waves
John T. Whelan, Emma L. Robinson, Joseph D. Romano +1
Uncertainty in the calibration of gravitational-wave (GW) detector data leads to systematic errors which must be accounted for in setting limits on the strength of GW signals. When…
Matching post-Newtonian and numerical relativity waveforms: systematic errors and a new phenomenological model for non-precessing black hole binaries
L. Santamaria, F. Ohme, P. Ajith +10
We present a new phenomenological gravitational waveform model for the inspiral and coalescence of non-precessing spinning black hole binaries. Our approach is based on a frequency…
An Upper Limit on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background of Cosmological Origin
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmologica…
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…
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…
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…
