Coherent versus coincidence detection of gravitational wave signals from compact inspiraling binaries
We compare two multi-detector detection strategies, namely, the coincidence and the coherent, for the detection of spinless inspiraling compact binary gravitational wave (GW) signals. The coincident strategy treats the detectors as if they are isolated compares individual detector statistics with their respective thresholds while the coherent strategy combines the detector network data phase co...
متن کاملDetection of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries using a network of interferometric detectors ∗
We formulate the data analysis problem for the detection of the Newtonian waveform from an inspiraling compact-binary by a network of arbitrarily oriented and arbitrarily distributed laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors. We obtain for the first time the relation between the optimal statistic and the magnitude of the network correlation vector, which is constructed from the matched...
متن کاملCoincidence analysis to search for inspiraling compact binaries
We discuss a method of coincidence analysis to search for gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries using the data of two laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors. We examine the allowed difference of the wave’s parameters estimated by each detector to obtain good detection efficiency. We also discuss a method to set an upper limit to the event rate from the results of the ...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Extragalactic Inspiraling Binaries: Selection Effects and Expected Detection Rates
We examine the selection effects that determine how the population of inspiraling binary compact objects (BCOs) is reflected by those potentially observed with ground-based interferometers like LIGO. We lay the ground-work for the interpretation of future observations in terms of constraints on the real population and, correspondingly, binary star evolution models. To determine the extra-galact...

The first generation of long-baseline laser interferometric detectors of gravitational waves will start collecting data in 2001–2003. We carefully analyse their planned performance and compare it with the expected strengths of astrophysical sources. The scientific importance of the anticipated discovery of various gravitatinal wave signals and the reliability of theoretical predictions are take...
