Reconstructing the sky location of gravitational-wave detected compact binary systems: methodology for testing and comparison
Trevor Sidery, Ben Aylott, Nelson Christensen +20
The problem of reconstructing the sky position of compact binary coalescences detected via gravitational waves is a central one for future observations with the ground-based networ…
Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the 5th LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +876
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-1…
Constraints on cosmic strings from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detectors
J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +873
Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising o…
Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…
Basic Parameter Estimation of Binary Neutron Star Systems by the Advanced LIGO/Virgo Network
Carl L Rodriguez, Benjamin Farr, Vivien Raymond +4
Within the next five years, it is expected that the Advanced LIGO/Virgo network will have reached a sensitivity sufficient to enable the routine detection of gravitational waves. B…
Inadequacies of the Fisher Information Matrix in gravitational-wave parameter estimation
Carl L. Rodriguez, Benjamin Farr, Will M. Farr +1
The Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) has been the standard approximation to the accuracy of parameter estimation on gravitational-wave signals from merging compact binaries due to i…
