The PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence
Samantha A. Usman, Alexander H. Nitz, Ian W. Harry +18
We describe the PyCBC search for gravitational waves from compact-object binary coalescences in advanced gravitational-wave detector data. The search was used in the first Advanced…
Connecting Numerical Relativity and Data Analysis of Gravitational Wave Detectors
Deirdre Shoemaker, Karan Jani, Lionel London +1
Gravitational waves deliver information in exquisite detail about astrophysical phenomena, among them the collision of two black holes, a system completely invisible to the eyes of…
Investigating Binary Black Hole Mergers with Principal Component Analysis
James Clark, Laura Cadonati, James Healy +6
Despite recent progress in numerical simulations of the coalescence of binary black hole systems, highly asymmetric spinning systems and the construction of accurate physical templ…
Comparing gravitational waves from nonprecessing and precessing black hole binaries in the corotating frame
Larne Pekowsky, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Jim Healy +1
Previous analytic and numerical calculations suggest that, at each instant, the emission from a precessing black hole binary closely resembles the emission from a nonprecessing ana…
Template Mode Hierarchies for Binary Black Hole Mergers
James Healy, Pablo Laguna, Larne Pekowsky +1
Matched filtering is a popular data analysis framework used to search for gravitational wave signals emitted by compact object binaries. The templates used in matched filtering sea…
Impact of Higher-order Modes on the Detection of Binary Black Hole Coalescences
Larne Pekowsky, James Healy, Deirdre Shoemaker +1
The inspiral and merger of black-hole binary systems are a promising source of gravitational waves. The most effective method to look for a signal with a well understood waveform,…
