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…
Common Envelope Mergers: A Possible Channel for Forming Single sdB Stars
Michael Politano, Ronald E. Taam, Marc van der Sluys +1
We quantify an evolutionary channel for single sdB stars based on mergers of binaries containing a red giant star and a lower mass main sequence or brown dwarf companion in our Gal…
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…
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…
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…
Black Hole Spin Evolution: Implications for Short-hard Gamma Ray Bursts and Gravitational Wave Detection
Krzysztof Belczynski, Ronald E. Taam, Emmanouela Rantsiou +1
The evolution of the spin and tilt of black holes in compact black hole - neutron star and black hole - black hole binary systems is investigated within the framework of the coales…
