WSR12 MBTA results

by Frederique Marion last modified 2009-04-07 15:43

This page summarizes the main results obtained by online MBTA during WSR12.

MBTA ran online during WSR11, over a mass range from 1 to 3 solar masses. The initial frequency of the search was 80 Hz. The main results are summarized in the following figures. 

The time evolution of the triggers SNR and of the trigger rate is shown here:

WSR12 MBTA SNR and trigger rate vs time


The SNR and chi2 vs SNR distributions are shown here:

The spectrum of the MBTA triggers SNR fluctuations over the full run, which shows the characteristic frequencies of the non-stationarities impacting the inspiral search, is show here:

The list of triggers with SNR greater than 10 is given in this table:
