Search for gravitational wave bursts in LIGO's third science run
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts in data from the three LIGO interferometric detectors during their third science run. The search targets subsecond bursts in the…
Binary Mergers and Growth of Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters
Ryan M. O'Leary, Frederic A. Rasio, John M. Fregeau +2
We model the dynamical evolution of primordial black holes (BHs) in dense star clusters using a simplified treatment of stellar dynamics in which the BHs are assumed to remain conc…
Upper Limits on a Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has performed a third science run with much improved sensitivities of all three interferometers. We present an analys…
Constraining population synthesis models via the binary neutron star population
R. O'Shaughnessy, C. Kim, T. Frakgos +2
The observed sample of double neutron-star (NS-NS) binaries presents a challenge to population-synthesis models of compact object formation: the parameters entering into these mode…
Bounds on Expected Black Hole Spins in Inspiraling Binaries
R. O'Shaughnessy, J. Kaplan, V. Kalogera +1
As a first step towards understanding the angular momentum evolution history of black holes in merging black-hole/neutron-star binaries, we perform population synthesis calculation…
