Analysis of Gravitational-Wave Data

Informationen zum Autor Piotr Jaranowski is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Physics at the University of Biäystok, Poland. He has been a visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and the Friedrich Schiller University, both in Germany, and the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, France. He currently works in the field of gravitational-wave data analysis and general-relativistic problem of motion. Klappentext Introducing gravitational-wave data analysis, this is an ideal starting point for researchers entering the field, and researchers currently analyzing data. Zusammenfassung Introducing gravitational-wave data analysis! this book is an ideal starting point for researchers entering the field! and researchers currently analyzing data. Detailed derivations of the basic formulae enable readers to apply general statistical concepts to the analysis of gravitational-wave signals. It also discusses new ideas on devising the efficient algorithms. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Overview of the theory of gravitational radiation; 2. Astrophysical sources of gravitational waves; 3.
