A stochastic template bank for gravitational wave searches for precessing neutron-star--black-hole coalescence events

Nathaniel Indik, K Haris, Tito Dal Canton +5

Gravitational wave searches to date have largely focused on non-precessing systems. Including precession effects greatly increases the number of templates to be searched over. This…

Gravity Spy: Integrating Advanced LIGO Detector Characterization, Machine Learning, and Citizen Science

Michael Zevin, Scott Coughlin, Sara Bahaadini +15

(abridged for arXiv) With the first direct detection of gravitational waves, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has initiated a new field of as…

Towards mitigating the effect of sine-Gaussian noise transients on searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences

Sukanta Bose, Sanjeev Dhurandhar, Anuradha Gupta +1

Gravitational wave (GW) signals were recently detected directly by LIGO from the coalescences of two black hole pairs. These detections have strengthened our belief that compact bi…

Minimum energy and the end of the inspiral in the post-Newtonian approximation

Miriam Cabero, Alex B. Nielsen, Andrew P. Lundgren +1

The early inspiral phase of a compact binary coalescence is well modelled by the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation to the orbital energy and gravitational wave flux. The transition…
