Abstract

Efficient multi-dimensional template placement is crucial in computationally intensive matched-filtering searches for Gravitational Waves (GWs). Here, we implement the Neighboring Cell Algorithm (NCA) to improve the detection volume of an existing Compact Binary Coalescence (CBC) template bank. This algorithm has already been successfully applied for a binary millisecond pulsar search in data from the Fermi satellite. It repositions templates from over-dense regions to under-dense regions and reduces the number of templates that would have been required by a stochastic method to achieve the same detection volume. Our method is readily generalizable to other CBC parameter spaces. Here we apply this method to the aligned--single-spin neutron-star--black-hole binary coalescence inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational wave parameter space. We show that the template nudging algorithm can attain the equivalent effectualness of the stochastic method with 12% fewer templates.

Abstract

Gravitational wave searches to date have largely focused on non-precessing systems. Including precession effects greatly increases the number of templates to be searched over. This leads to a corresponding increase in the computational cost and can increase the false alarm rate of a realistic search. On the other hand, there might be astrophysical systems that are entirely missed by non-precessing searches. In this paper we consider the problem of constructing a template bank using stochastic methods for neutron-star--black-hole binaries allowing for precession, but with the restrictions that the orientation of the total angular momentum of the binary is pointing towards the detector and that the neutron-star spin is negligible relative to that of the black-hole. We quantify the number of templates required for the search, and we explicitly construct the template bank. We show that despite the large number of templates, stochastic methods can be adapted to solve the problem. We quantify the parameter space region over which the non-precessing search might miss signals., Comment: 11 pages, 16 figures

3. Spectral Approach to the Relativistic Inverse Stellar Structure Problem II

Abstract

The inverse stellar structure problem determines the equation of state of the matter in stars from a knowledge of their macroscopic observables (e.g. their masses and radii). This problem was solved in a previous paper by constructing a spectral representation of the equation of state whose stellar models match a prescribed set of macroscopic observables. This paper improves and extends that work in two significant ways: i) The method is made more robust by accounting for an unexpected feature of the enthalpy based representations of the equations of state used in this work. After making the appropriate modifications, accurate initial guesses for the spectral parameters are no longer needed so Monte-Carlo techniques can now be used to ensure the best fit to the observables. ii) The method is extended here to use masses and tidal deformabilities (which will be measured by gravitational wave observations of neutron-star mergers) as the macroscopic observables instead of masses and radii. The accuracy and reliability of this extended and more robust spectral method is evaluated in this paper using mock data for observables from stars based on 34 different theoretical models of the high density neutron-star equation of state. In qualitative agreement with earlier work, these tests suggest the high density part of the neutron-star equation of state could be determined at the few-percent accuracy level using high quality measurements of the masses and radii (or masses and tidal deformabilities) of just two or three neutron stars., Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables; v2 updated to published version, includes expanded discussion section, v3 corrected typo in Eq.

4. A Spectral Approach to the Relativistic Inverse Stellar Structure Problem

Abstract

A new method for solving the relativistic inverse stellar structure problem is presented. This method determines a spectral representation of the unknown high density portion of the stellar equation of state from a knowledge of the total masses M and radii R of the stars. Spectral representations of the equation of state are very efficient, generally requiring only a few spectral parameters to achieve good accuracy. This new method is able, therefore, to determine the high density equation of state quite accurately from only a few accurately measured [M,R] data points. This method is tested here by determining the equations of state from mock [M,R] data computed from tabulated "realistic" neutron-star equations of state. The spectral equations of state obtained from these mock data are shown to agree on average with the originals to within a few percent (over the entire high density range of the neutron-star interior) using only two [M,R] data points. Higher accuracies are achieved when more data are used. The accuracies of the equations of state determined in these examples are shown to be nearly optimal, in the sense that their errors are comparable to the errors of the best-fit spectral representations of these realistic equations of state., Comment: 12 pages; 1 table; v2 minor changes to version accepted in Phys.

Abstract

A new field of astronomy was opened up on Monday September 14th 2015, when the first detection of a Gravitational Wave was observed, GW150914. So far there have been no observations of gravitational waves produced from neutron-star--black-hole mergers. The observation of a neutron-star--black-hole merger would be significant because it would provide another way to study how compact binary coalescence gravitational wave signals relate to companion electromagnetic and neutrino emission signals. The difficulty in detecting precessing neutron-star--black-hole binaries (systems that allow for the full range of physical spin configurations) is that template banks for these precessing compact binary coalescence systems require many more templates than compact binary coalescence template banks that have been implemented previously. The purpose of the work presented in this thesis is to both improve the construction and efficiency of compact binary coalescence template banks. Template bank construction in the high dimensional precessing compact binary coalescence parameter spaces is complicated by the absence of a known analytic expression of mismatch inspiral-merger-ringdown metric. Previously, these restraints only permitted the use of the inefficient and slow to converge stochastic template placement algorithms. In this thesis, I constructed a template bank, the face-on-precessing template bank, over a subspace of this precessing neutron-star--black-hole template bank parameter space. I accomplished this by implementing a new algorithm for speeding up the convergence of the stochastic placement of these templates. I found that this subspace required 53 times more templates than the aligned-spin bank. Additionally, I developed an alternative template placement algorithm, the template nudging algorithm, to reposition compact binary coalescence templates into more effectual configurations in order to eliminate the effect of gridlines, artificially dense regions of the bank, that are characteristic of the hybrid template bank construction methods previously implemented in LIGO-Virgo compact binary coalescence searches. Finally, I developed a technique for constructing flat coordinates for compact binary coalescence template placements in high dimensional parameter spaces to ease in the construction of a fully precessing compact binary coalescence template bank.

Abstract

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0,+0.1]×10-8 Hz/s. Potential signals could be produced by a nearby spinning and slightly nonaxisymmetric isolated neutron star in our Galaxy. This search uses the data from Advanced LIGO's first observational run O1. No gravitational-wave signals were observed, and upper limits were placed on their strengths. For completeness, results from the separately published low-frequency search 20-475 Hz are included as well. Our lowest upper limit on worst-case (linearly polarized) strain amplitude h0 is ∼4×10-25 near 170 Hz, while at the high end of our frequency range, we achieve a worst-case upper limit of 1.3×10-24. For a circularly polarized source (most favorable orientation), the smallest upper limit obtained is ∼1.5×10-25. © 2018 American Physical Society.

10. A Spectral Approach to the Relativistic Inverse Stellar Structure Problem

Author

Indik, Nathaniel Michael, Indik, Nathaniel Michael, Indik, Nathaniel Michael, and Indik, Nathaniel Michael

Abstract

We present a new method for solving the inverse stellar structure problem, which determines an expression for the high density range of the neutron star equation of state (EOS) based on observations of total masses, M, and radii, R of these stars. This approach determines spectral representations of the EOS that are very accurate and require only a few spectral parameters to converge. This method can determine the underlying high density EOS from just a few mass-radii observations {Mi, Ri}. While accurate mass-radii data are not available yet, we tested the accuracy of this method to determine the EOS from a set of {Mi, Ri} values computed from two tabulated theoretical EOS. When applied to the PAL6 [ 6] and MS 1 [7] tabulated EOS, this method converged to the original EOS to within a few percent using {Mi, Ri} data from only two stellar models.
