Abstract:

We describe a coherent network algorithm for detection and reconstruction of gravitational wave bursts. The algorithm works for two and more arbitrarily aligned detectors and can be used for both all-sky and triggered burst searches. We describe the main components of the algorithm, including the time-frequency analysis in a wavelet domain, construction of the likelihood time-frequency maps, and identification and selection of burst events.
