Merger rates of double neutron stars and stellar origin black holes: The Impact of Initial Conditions on Binary Evolution Predictions
S. E. de Mink, K. Belczynski
The initial mass function (IMF), binary fraction and distributions of binary parameters (mass ratios, separations and eccentricities) are indispensable input for simulations of ste…
Search for gravitational waves from binary inspirals in S3 and S4 LIGO data
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on a search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of compact binaries during the third and fourth LIGO science runs. The search focused on gravitational waves gene…
Upper limit map of a background of gravitational waves
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We searched for an anisotropic background of gravitational waves using data from the LIGO S4 science run and a method that is optimized for point sources. This is appropriate if, f…
First Stellar Binary Black Holes: Strongest Gravitational Wave Burst Sources
Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik, Bronislaw Rudak
Evolution of first population of massive metal-free binary stars is followed. Due to the low metallicity, the stars are allowed to form with large initial masses and to evolve with…
X-Ray Binary Populations: The Luminosity Function of NGC1569
K. Belczynski, V. Kalogera, A. Zezas +1
Using the population synthesis code StarTrack we construct the first synthetic X-ray binary populations for direct comparison with the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of NGC 1569 o…
Detector Description and Performance for the First Coincidence Observations between LIGO and GEO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
For 17 days in August and September 2002, the LIGO and GEO interferometer gravitational wave detectors were operated in coincidence to produce their first data for scientific analy…
