Gravitational waves from neutron stars: Promises and challenges

N. Andersson, V. Ferrari, D. I. Jones +5

We discuss different ways that neutron stars can generate gravitational waves, describe recent improvements in modelling the relevant scenarios in the context of improving detector…

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…

Targeted search for continuous gravitational waves: Bayesian versus maximum-likelihood statistics

Reinhard Prix, Badri Krishnan

We investigate the Bayesian framework for detection of continuous gravitational waves (GWs) in the context of targeted searches, where the phase evolution of the GW signal is assum…

Status of NINJA: the Numerical INJection Analysis project

Benjamin Aylott, John G. Baker, William D. Boggs +74

The 2008 NRDA conference introduced the Numerical INJection Analysis project (NINJA), a new collaborative effort between the numerical relativity community and the data analysis co…

Searching for numerically-simulated signals of black hole binaries with a phenomenological template family

Lucia Santamaria, Badri Krishnan, John T. Whelan

Recent progress in numerical relativity now allows computation of the binary black hole merger, whereas post-Newtonian and perturbative techniques can be used to model the inspiral…

Detecting gravitational waves from accreting neutron stars

Anna L. Watts, Badri Krishnan

The gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars carry unique information about their structure and composition. Direct detection of these gravitational waves, however, is a formid…
