Bayesian Bounds on Parameter Estimation Accuracy for Compact Coalescing Binary Gravitational Wave Signals
A global network of very sensitive large-scale laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors is projected to be in operation by around the turn of the century. The network is anticipated to bring a range of new astrophysical information — relating to neutron stars, black holes, and the very early universe — and also new fundamental physics information, relating to the nature of gravity in ...
متن کاملInterpolation Techniques for Mcmc Parameter Estimation on Compact Binary Coalescence Gravitational-wave Signals
With gravitational-wave detection on the horizon, astronomers look for ways of extracting useful information from a detected gravitational wave. Like its electromagnetic cousin, a gravitational wave carries important information about the characteristics of its source, and these characteristics can be recovered through numerical analysis. Using one promising technique known as a Metropolis-Hast...
متن کاملFirst low-latency LIGO+Virgo search for binary inspirals and their electromagnetic counterparts
Aims. The detection and measurement of gravitational-waves from coalescing neutron-star binary systems is an important science goal for ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. In addition to emitting gravitational-waves at frequencies that span the most sensitive bands of the LIGO and Virgo detectors, these sources are also amongst the most likely to produce an electromagnetic counterpart to...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Binary Neutron-star Coalescences with Realistic Noise during the Advanced Ligo Era
Advanced ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors begin operation imminently. Their intended goal is not only to make the first direct detection of GWs, but also to make inferences about the source systems. Binary neutron-star mergers are among the most promising sources. We investigate the performance of the parameter-estimation (PE) pipeline that will be used during the first observing ...
متن کاملMethods for reducing false alarms in searches for compact binary coalescences in LIGO data
The LIGO detectors are sensitive to a variety of noise transients of nonastrophysical origin. Instrumental glitches and environmental disturbances increase the false alarm rate in the searches for gravitational waves. Using times already identified when the interferometers produced data of questionable quality, or when the channels that monitor the interferometer indicated nonstationarity, we h...
