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…
Searching for Gravitational Waves from Binary Inspirals with LIGO
Duncan A. Brown, Stanislav Babak, Patrick R. Brady +9
We describe the current status of the search for gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binary systems in LIGO data. We review the result from the first scientific run of LI…
Searching for Gravitational Radiation from Binary Black Hole MACHOs in the Galactic Halo
Duncan A. Brown
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is one of a new generation of detectors of gravitational radiation. The existence of gravitational radiation was firs…
A Three-Stage Search for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in LISA Data
Duncan A. Brown, Jeff Crowder, Curt Cutler +2
Gravitational waves from the inspiral and coalescence of supermassive black-hole (SMBH) binaries with masses ~10^6 Msun are likely to be among the strongest sources for the Laser I…
Reducing orbital eccentricity in binary black hole simulations
Harald P. Pfeiffer, Duncan A. Brown, Lawrence E. Kidder +3
Binary black hole simulations starting from quasi-circular (i.e., zero radial velocity) initial data have orbits with small but non-zero orbital eccentricities. In this paper the q…
Detailed comparison of LIGO and Virgo Inspiral Pipelines in Preparation for a Joint Search
F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard, L. Blackburn +27
Presented in this paper is a detailed and direct comparison of the LIGO and Virgo binary neutron star detection pipelines. In order to test the search programs, numerous inspiral s…
