Supernovae in our universe are potential sources of Gravitational Waves (GW) that could be detected in a network of GW detectors like LIGO and Virgo. Core-collapse supernovae are rare, but the associated gravitational radiation is likely to carry profuse information about the underlying processes driving the supernovae. Calculations based on analytic models predict GW energies within the detection range of the Advanced LIGO detectors, out to tens of Mpc for certain types of signals e.g. coalescing binary neutron stars. For supernovae however,the corresponding distances are much less. Thus, methods that can improve the sensitivity of searches for GW signals from supernovae are desirable, especially in the advanced detector era. Several methods have been proposed based on various likelihood-based regulators that work on data from a network of detectors to detect burstlike signals (as is the case for signals from supernovae) from potential GW sources. To address this problem, we have developed an analysis pipeline based on a method of noise reduction known as the Harmonic Regeneration Noise Reduction (HRNR) algorithm. To demonstrate the method, sixteen supernova waveforms from the Murphy et al. 2009 catalog have been used in presence of LIGO science data. A comparative analysis is presented to show detection statistics for a standard network analysis as commonly used in GW pipelines and the same by implementing the new method in conjunction with the network. The result shows significant improvement in detection statistics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
