Papers and Other Documentation

Since the LSC and Virgo have joined forces on data analysis activities, these pages are now frozen. Ongoing searches for gravitational waves from compact binary systems are performed under the Compact Binary Coalescence group. Please look at that web site for more information about the group, mail lists, and cvs access and other resources.

  1. Search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspirals in LIGO data
    Phys. Rev. D 73, 062001 [ PRD Server, arXiv:gr-qc/0509129, history ].

  2. Joint ligo and tama300 search for gravitational waves from inspiralling neutron star binaries.
    Phys. Rev. D 73, 102001 [ PRD Server, arXiv:gr-qc/0512078, history ].

S3/S4 searches

  1. Search for gravitational waves from binary inspirals in S3 and S4 LIGO data. In Progress.
    • Current version of the paper available in the archive PDF format
    • Summary of the origin of the number written in the paper number issues
    • History
      • [paper-draft.pdf] posted on 30th October 2006 for LSC comments
      • [paper-draft-update-16-Nov-2006.pdf .pdf] posted on 16th November 2006 (version 1.126). This version incorporates most of the F2F discussions, Vicky comments, and others. It also incorporate some of the LSC comments. However, we are still waiting until 22nd for last comments. This version has some comments (margin note), corrections with respect to previous version (blue) and stroke sentence removed. Verrsion 1.127 in the archive is the same but without annotations and a couple of minors corrections.
