A binary tree approach to template placement for searches for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers

Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Shio Sakon +30

We demonstrate a new geometric method for fast template placement for searches for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of compact binaries. The method is bas…

Metric Assisted Stochastic Sampling (MASS) search for gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers

Chad Hanna, Prathamesh Joshi, Rachael Huxford +29

We present a novel gravitational wave detection algorithm that conducts a matched filter search stochastically across the compact binary parameter space rather than relying on a fi…

GstLAL: A software framework for gravitational wave discovery

Kipp Cannon, Sarah Caudill, Chiwai Chan +28

The GstLAL library, derived from Gstreamer and the LIGO Algorithm Library, supports a stream-based approach to gravitational-wave data processing. Although GstLAL was primarily des…

All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…

The GstLAL Search Analysis Methods for Compact Binary Mergers in Advanced LIGO's Second and Advanced Virgo's First Observing Runs

Surabhi Sachdev, Sarah Caudill, Heather Fong +26

After their successful first observing run (September 12, 2015 - January 12, 2016), the Advanced LIGO detectors were upgraded to increase their sensitivity for the second observing…

Fast evaluation of multi-detector consistency for real-time gravitational wave searches

Chad Hanna, Sarah Caudill, Cody Messick +17

Gravitational waves searches for compact binary mergers with LIGO and Virgo are presently a two stage process. First, a gravitational wave signal is identified. Then, an exhaustive…
