Description |
Coalescing compact binaries with residual orbital eccentricities are plausible gravitational wave (GW) sources for the currently operational Advanced LIGO observatories. I present on-going efforts to construct temporally evolving GW polarization states for such binaries. These post-Newtonian accurate, ready-to-use GW templates, both in the time and frequency domains, are being implemented into the data analysis software of the LIGO Science Collaboration. They complement the existing general relativity based software for analysing GWs from quasi-circular binary coalescence. I will briefly discuss the usefulness of our templates for constraining any residual eccentricities in eventual future detections of inspiral GWs. |
