Determining the Feasibility of Matched Filter Searches for Core-Collapse Supernovae

Other Versions:

Abstract:: With the efforts of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) collaboration, gravitational waves (GWs) have been successfully detected from black hole mergers, neutron stars, and neutron star-black hole binaries. However, there are other violent phenomena, such as core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), that are potential candidates for gravitational wave studies. CCSNe are of particular interest because they emit other astrophysical messengers such as neutrinos and electromagnetic rays. I will study the feasibility of using matched filter searches for CCSNe with a phenomenological GW model that aims to be representative of CCSNe waveforms. I will examine the impact of stochasticity on the g-mode dominated emission, design a template bank of CCSNe gravitational waveforms, and compare a search benchmarked against numerical relativity simulations.
