A novel scheme for rapid parallel parameter estimation of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences
C. Pankow, P. Brady, E. Ochsner +1
We introduce a highly-parallelizable architecture for estimating parameters of compact binary coalescence using gravitational-wave data and waveform models. Using a spherical harmo…
A more effective coordinate system for parameter estimation of precessing compact binaries from gravitational waves
Benjamin Farr, Evan Ochsner, Will M. Farr +1
Ground-based gravitational wave detectors are sensitive to a narrow range of frequencies, effectively taking a snapshot of merging compact-object binary dynamics just before merger…
Parameter Estimation of Gravitational Waves from Precessing BH-NS Inspirals with higher harmonics
R. O'Shaughnessy, B. Farr, E. Ochsner +4
Precessing black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) binaries produce a rich gravitational wave signal, encoding the binary's nature and inspiral kinematics. Using the lalinference\_mcmc Mar…
Systematic and statistical errors in a bayesian approach to the estimation of the neutron-star equation of state using advanced gravitational wave detectors
Leslie Wade, Jolien D. E. Creighton, Evan Ochsner +4
Advanced ground-based gravitational-wave detectors are capable of measuring tidal influences in binary neutron-star systems. In this work, we report on the statistical uncertaintie…
Parameter Estimation of Gravitational Waves from Nonprecessing BH-NS Inspirals with higher harmonics: Comparing MCMC posteriors to an Effective Fisher Matrix
R. O'Shaughnessy, B. Farr, E. Ochsner +3
Using the \texttt{lalinference} Markov-chain Monte Carlo parameter estimation code, we examine two distinct nonprecessing black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) binaries with and without…
Investigating the effect of precession on searches for neutron-star-black-hole binaries with Advanced LIGO
I. W. Harry, A. H. Nitz, Duncan A. Brown +3
The first direct detection of neutron-star-black-hole binaries will likely be made with gravitational-wave observatories. Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo will be able to observe n…
