Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Multi Order Coverage data structure to plan multi-messenger observations
Giuseppe Greco, Michele Punturo, Mark Allen +9
We describe the use of Multi Order Coverage (MOC) maps as a practical way to manage complex regions of the sky for the planning of multi-messenger observations. MOC maps are a data…
Optimizing searches for electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave triggers
Michael W. Coughlin, Duo Tao, Man Leong Chan +9
With the detection of a binary neutron star system and its corresponding electromagnetic counterparts, a new window of transient astronomy has opened. Due to the size of the error…
Gravitational Waves optical follow-up at VST
A. Grado, E. Brocato, M. Branchesi +8
We report on the deep optical follow-up surveys of the first two gravitational-wave events, GW150914 and GW151226, accomplished by the GRAvitational Wave Inaf TeAm Collaboration (G…
Singular Spectrum Analysis for astronomical time series: constructing a parsimonious hypothesis test
G. Greco, D. Kondrashov, S. Kobayashi +7
We present a data-adaptive spectral method - Monte Carlo Singular Spectrum Analysis (MC-SSA) - and its modification to tackle astrophysical problems. Through numerical simulations…
Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +894
In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In orde…
