Efficient asymptotic frame selection for binary black hole spacetimes using asymptotic radiation

R. O'Shaughnessy, B. Vaishnav, J. Healy +2

Previous studies have demonstrated that gravitational radiation reliably encodes information about the natural emission direction of the source (e.g., the orbital plane). In this p…

Intrinsic selection biases of ground-based gravitational wave searches for high-mass BH-BH mergers

Richard O'Shaughnessy, Birjoo Vaishnav, James Healy +1

The next generation of ground-based gravitational wave detectors may detect a few mergers of comparable-mass M\simeq 100-1000 Msun ("intermediate-mass'', or IMBH) spinning black ho…

First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537

We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…

Binary black hole evolutions of approximate puncture initial data

Tanja Bode, Pablo Laguna, Deirdre M. Shoemaker +3

Approximate solutions to the Einstein field equations are a valuable tool to investigate gravitational phenomena. An important aspect of any approximation is to investigate and qua…

Numerical Relativity meets Data Analysis: Spinning Binary Black Hole Case

Deirdre Shoemaker, Birjoo Vaishnav, Ian Hinder +1

We present a study of the gravitational waveforms from a series of spinning, equal-mass black hole binaries focusing on the harmonic content of the waves and the contribution of th…

Site-resolved Bragg scattering

Birjoo Vaishnav, David S. Weiss

We numerically calculate the reliability with which one can optically determine the presence or absence of an individual scatterer in a randomly occupied 3D array of well-localized…
