Host Galaxies Catalog Used in LIGO Searches for Compact Binary Coalescence Events
Coalescence events of binary systems with two compact objects are among the most promising gravitational wave sources for LIGO. Current analyses of LIGO data constrain the rates of these events given an astrophysical population model for the sources considered. A reasonable assumption is that this population follows the star formation rate, as traced by the galactic blue light luminosity. We de...
متن کاملBinary Compact Object Coalescence Rates: the Role of Elliptical Galaxies
In this paper we estimate binary compact object merger detection rates for LIGO, including the potentially significant contribution from binaries that are produced in elliptical galaxies near the epoch of peak star formation. Specifically, we convolve hundreds of model realizations of ellipticaland spiralgalaxy population syntheses with a model for ellipticaland spiral-galaxy star formation his...
متن کاملInGrid-based X-ray detector for low background searches
An X-ray photon detector based on the highly granular readout of an InGrid is described. This gaseous detector, based on a highly pixelized readout chip with an integrated Micromegas grid, allows for a topological analysis of each event and, thus, a distinction between a charged track and a photon conversion is possible in most cases. Because of the high granularity, an energy resolution of 5.2...
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 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...
