Preliminary study on parameter estimation accuracy of supermassive black hole binary inspirals for TianQin
Wen-Fan Feng, Hai-Tian Wang, Xin-Chun Hu +2
We use the Fisher information matrix method to calculate the parameter estimation accuracy of inspiraling supermassive black holes binaries for TianQin, a space-borne laser interfe…
Optimizing searches for electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave triggers
Michael W. Coughlin, Duo Tao, Man Leong Chan +9
With the detection of a binary neutron star system and its corresponding electromagnetic counterparts, a new window of transient astronomy has opened. Due to the size of the error…
Systematic errors in estimation of gravitational-wave candidate significance
Collin Capano, Thomas Dent, Chad Hanna +4
The statistical significance of a candidate gravitational-wave (GW) event is crucial to the prospects for a confirmed detection, or for its selection as a candidate for follow-up e…
Systematic errors in estimation of gravitational-wave candidate significance
Collin Capano, Thomas Dent, Chad Hanna +4
We investigate the issue in determining the significance of candidate transient gravitational-wave events in a ground-based interferometer network. Given the presence of non-Gaussi…
Global Optimization for Future Gravitational Wave Detectors' Sites
Yi-Ming Hu, Peter Raffai, Laszlo Gondan +5
We consider the optimal site selection of future generations of gravitational wave detectors. Previously, Raffai et al. optimized a 2-detector network with a combined figure of mer…
Efficient Exploration of Multi-Modal Posterior Distributions
Yi-Ming Hu, Martin Hendry, Ik Siong Heng
The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is a widely recognised as an efficient method for sampling a specified posterior distribution. However, when the posterior is multi-mo…
