Sensitivity Studies for Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Observatories

S. Hild, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +136

Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a…

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…

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…

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…

LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
