Probing the low-luminosity GRB population with new generation satellite detectors

A. Imerito, D. Coward, R. Burman +1

We compare the detection rates and redshift distributions of low-luminosity (LL) GRBs localized by Swift with those expected to be observed by the new generation satellite detector…

Where are the missing gamma ray burst redshifts?

D. M. Coward, D. Guetta, R. R. Burman +1

In the redshift range z = 0-1, the gamma ray burst (GRB) redshift distribution should increase rapidly because of increasing differential volume sizes and strong evolution in the s…

An improved method for estimating source densities using the temporal distribution of Cosmological Transients

E. Howell, D. Coward, R. Burman +1

It has been shown that the observed temporal distribution of transient events in the cosmos can be used to constrain their rate density. Here we show that the peak flux--observatio…

Application of the Probability Event Horizon filter to constrain the local rate density of binary black hole inspirals with Advanced LIGO

E. Howell, D. Coward, R. Burman +1

The temporal evolution of the gravitational wave background signal resulting from stellar-mass binary black hole (BBH) inspirals has a unique statistical signature. We describe the…

A cosmological "probability event horizon" and its observational implications

D. M. Coward, R. R. Burman

Suppose an astronomer is equipped with a device capable of detecting emissions -- whether they be electromagnetic, gravitational, or neutrino -- from transient sources distributed…

Proposed gravitational wave background from black hole-torus systems

David M. Coward, Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Ronald R. Burman

Cosmological gamma-ray bursts may be powered by rotating black holes with contemporaneous emission of gravitational radiation from a surrounding torus. We calculate the resulting s…
