Detectability of dynamical tidal effects and the detection of gravitational-wave transients with LIGO
… detecting Gravitational Waves with ground-based laser interferometers. Data quality and noise reduction along with source parameter estimation, with particular emphasis on localization, are discussed in great detail. Conclusions drawn from statistical ensembles of simulated signals are applied to …

Sensitivity and noise analysis of 4 km laser interferometric gravitational wave antennae
… underway to commission several kilometer-scale laser interferometers to detect gravitational radiation. In the United States, there are two collocated interferometers in Hanford, Washington and one interferometer in Livingston, Louisiana. Together, these three interferometers form the Laser …

Bridging the gap between post-Newtonian theory and numerical relativity in gravitational-wave data analysis
… for the first time with a network of large-scale laser interferometers is currently ongoing and expected to provide positive results within this decade. One potential source of measurable gravitational waves is the inspiral and merger of two compact objects, such as binary black holes. …

Bayesian methods for gravitational waves and neural networks
… two points. Observations of these using the laser interferometers, which are the most sensitive length-measuring devices in the world, will allow us to test models of interactions in the strong field regime of gravity and eventually general relativity itself. I apply the tools of Bayesian …
