Parameter estimation for signals from compact binary inspirals injected into LIGO data
Marc van der Sluys, Ilya Mandel, Vivien Raymond +3
During the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), signals modelling the gravitational waves emitted by coalescing non-spinning compact…
The Eclipsing Black Hole X-ray Binary M33 X-7: Understanding the Current Properties
Francesca Valsecchi, Bart Willems, Tassos Fragos +1
We explore the formation and evolution of the black hole X-ray binary system M33 X-7. In particular, we examine whether accounting for systematic errors in the stellar parameters i…
Parameter estimation of spinning binary inspirals using Markov-chain Monte Carlo
Marc van der Sluys, Vivien Raymond, Ilya Mandel +5
We present a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) technique to study the source parameters of gravitational-wave signals from the inspirals of stellar-mass compact binaries detected wit…
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…
Effect of PSR J0737-3039 on the DNS Merger Rate and Implications for GW Detection
Chunglee Kim, Vicky Kalogera, Duncan R. Lorimer
We present the current estimates of the Galactic merger rate of double-neutron-star (DNS) systems. Using a statistical analysis method, we calculate the probability distribution fu…
