Search techniques for gravitational waves from black-hole ringdowns
The first kilometer-scale gravitational wave observatories, LIGO [1] and VIRGO [2], are expected to begin performing searches for astrophysical sources of gravitational waves in the year 2002. By this time, it will be necessary to have data analysis software for on-line searches. Because the anticipated signals are expected to be weak, near-optimal strategies for data analysis will be required ...
متن کاملToroidal horizons in binary black hole inspirals
We examine the structure of the event horizon for numerical simulations of two black holes that begin in a quasicircular orbit, inspiral, and finally merge. We find that the spatial cross section of the merged event horizon has spherical topology (to the limit of our resolution), despite the expectation that generic binary black hole mergers in the absence of symmetries should result in an even...
متن کاملA burst search for gravitational waves from binary black holes
Compact binary coalescence (CBC) is one of the most promising sources of gravitational waves. These sources are usually searched for with matched filters which require accurate calculation of the GW waveforms and generation of large template banks. We present a complementary search technique based on algorithms used in un-modeled searches. Initially designed for detection of un-modeled bursts, ...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Binary Black Hole Mergers inside Stars.
We present results from a controlled numerical experiment investigating the effect of stellar density gas on the coalescence of binary black holes (BBHs) and the resulting gravitational waves (GWs). This investigation is motivated by the proposed stellar core fragmentation scenario for BBH formation and the associated possibility of an electromagnetic counterpart to a BBH GW event. We employ fu...
متن کاملObservation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger
This cataclysmic event, producing the gravitational-wave signal GW150914, took place in a distant galaxy more than one billion light years from the Earth. It was observed on September 14, 2015 by the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), arguably the most sensitive scientific instruments ever constructed. LIGO estimated that the peak gravitational-wave...
