Implications For The Origin Of GRB 051103 From LIGO Observations

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +568

We present the results of a LIGO search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with GRB 051103, a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose electromagnetically det…

Matching post-Newtonian and numerical relativity waveforms: systematic errors and a new phenomenological model for non-precessing black hole binaries

L. Santamaria, F. Ohme, P. Ajith +10

We present a new phenomenological gravitational waveform model for the inspiral and coalescence of non-precessing spinning black hole binaries. Our approach is based on a frequency…

Detection of IMBHs with ground-based gravitational wave observatories: A biography of a binary of black holes, from birth to death

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Lucia Santamaria

Even though the existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, black holes with masses ranging between ) has not yet been corroborated observationally, the…

Inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms for black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins

P. Ajith, M. Hannam, S. Husa +9

We present the first analytical inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveforms from binary black holes (BBHs) with non-precessing spins, that is based on a description of the lat…
