Impact of star formation inhomogeneities on merger rates and interpretation of LIGO results
R. O'Shaughnessy, R. Kopparapu, K. Belczynski
Within the next decade, ground based gravitational wave detectors are in principle capable of determining the compact object merger rate per unit volume of the local universe to be…
Population boundaries for compact white-dwarf binaries in LISA's amplitude-frequency domain
Ravi kumar Kopparapu
In an earlier investigation, we proposed population boundaries for both inspiralling and mass-transferring double white dwarf (DWD) systems in the distance independent "absolute" a…
Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2
We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…
Host Galaxies Catalog Used in LIGO Searches for Compact Binary Coalescence Events
Ravi Kumar Kopparapu, Chad R. Hanna, Vicky Kalogera +4
An up-to-date catalog of nearby galaxies considered as hosts of binary compact objects is provided with complete information about sky position, distance, extinction-corrected blue…
Population Boundaries for Galactic White Dwarf Binaries in LISA's Amplitude-Frequency Domain
Ravi Kumar Kopparapu, Joel E. Tohline
Detached, inspiraling and semi-detached, mass-transferring double white dwarf (DWD) binary systems are both expected to be important sources for the proposed space-based gravitatio…
