LISA Response Function and Parameter Estimation
We investigate the response function of LISA and consider the adequacy of its commonly used approximation in the high-frequency range of the observational band. We concentrate on monochromatic binary systems, such as white dwarf binaries. We find that above a few mHz the approximation starts becoming increasingly inaccurate. The transfer function introduces additional amplitude and phase modula...
متن کاملLISA Parameter Estimation Using Numerical Merger Waveforms
Coalescing supermassive black holes are expected to provide the strongest sources for gravitational radiation detected by LISA. Recent advances in numerical relativity provide a detailed description of the waveforms of such signals. We present a preliminary study of LISA’s sensitivity to waveform parameters using a hybrid numerical/analytic waveform describing the coalescence of two equal-mass,...
متن کاملParameter estimation for Galactic binaries by LISA
We calculate how accurately parameters of the short-period binaries (10 Hz . f . 10 Hz) will be determined from the gravitational waves by LISA. In our analysis the chirp signal ḟ is newly included as a fitting parameters and dependence on observational period or wave frequency is studied in detail. Implications for gravitational wave astronomy are also discussed quantitatively. Subject heading...
متن کاملSensitivity and parameter-estimation precision for alternate LISA configurations
We describe a simple framework to assess the LISA scientific performance (more specifically, its sensitivity and expected parameter-estimation precision for prescribed gravitational-wave signals) under the assumption of failure of one or two inter-spacecraft laser measurements (links) and of one to four intraspacecraft laser measurements. We apply the framework to the simple case of measuring t...
متن کاملEstimation of Scale Parameter Under a Bounded Loss Function
The quadratic loss function has been used by decision-theoretic statisticians and economists for many years. In this paper the estimation of scale parameter under a bounded loss function, which is adequate for assessing quality and quality improvement, is considered with restriction to the principles of invariance and risk unbiasedness. An implicit form of minimum risk scale equivariant ...
