Coincidence analysis to search for inspiraling compact binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
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 coincidence analysis. For the purpose to test above methods, we performed a coincidence analysis by applying these methods to the real data of TAMA300 and LISM detectors taken during 2001. We show that the fake event rate is reduced significantly by the coincidence analysis without losing real events very much. Results of the test analysis are also given. PACS numbers: 95.85.Sz, 04.80.Nn, 07.05Kf, 95.55Ym

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 کاملSearch templates for gravitational waves from inspiraling binaries: Choice of template spacing.
Gravitational waves from inspiraling, compact binaries will be searched for in the output of the LIGO/VIRGO interferometric network by the method of \matched ltering"|i.e., by correlating the noisy output of each interferometer with a set of theoretical waveform templates. These search templates will be a discrete subset of a continuous, multiparameter family, each of which approximates a possi...
متن کاملStatus of the joint LIGO–TAMA300 inspiral analysis
We present the status of the joint search for gravitational waves from inspiraling neutron star binaries in the LIGO Science Run 2 and TAMA300 Data Taking Run 8 data, which was taken from February 14 to April 14, 2003, by the LIGO and TAMA collaborations. In this paper we discuss what has been learned from an analysis of a subset of the data sample reserved as a “playground”. We determine the c...
متن کاملMatched filtering of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries: Computational cost and template placement
We estimate the number of templates, computational power, and storage required for a one-step matched filtering search for gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries. Our estimates for the one-step search strategy should serve as benchmarks for the evaluation of more sophisticated strategies such as hierarchical searches. We use a discrete family of two-parameter waveform templates b...
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...
