Predictions for the Rates of Compact Binary Coalescences Observable by Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors (2010)

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Abadie, Virgo Collaboration: J., Abbott, B. P., Abbott, R., Abernathy, M., Accadia, T., ...

We present an up-to-date, comprehensive summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the Initial and Advanced versions of the ground-based gravitational-wave...

Sensitivity to Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescences Achieved during LIGO's Fifth and Virgo's First Science Run (2010)

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Collaboration, Virgo

We summarize the sensitivity achieved by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors for compact binary coalescence (CBC) searches during LIGO's fifth science run and Virgo's first science run....
