New Methods for Gravitational Wave Astrophysics

该项目将探索搜索高级LIGO和处女座等引力波探测器的新方法。随着探测器的升级和寻找新的天体物理源，需要新的计算技术来搜索更大的参数空间来寻找新的天体物理源。我们将探索将来自多探测器网络的数据流连贯地组合在一起的想法，以及搜索紧凑双星的方法，在这些双星中，大质量比和进动自旋等细节变得至关重要。

This project will explore new methods for searching gravitational-wave detectors like Advanced LIGO and Virgo. As the detectors are upgraded and reach for new astrophysical sources, new computational techniques are needed to search much larger parameter spaces for new astrophysical sources. We will explore ideas for coherently combining the data streams from multiple-detector networks, and methods for searching for compact binaries where details like large mass ratios and precessing spins become critical.
