Accelerated Fully-Coherent Search for Compact Binary Coalescences
摘要
Progress in Gravitational Wave data analysis is often limited by global optimization challenges rooted in the fitting of complex signal models. The fully coherent all-sky (FCAS) search for compact binary coalescences (CBCs), which requires optimizing the likelihood function of data from a detector network over CBC signal parameters, is particularly demanding. Despite its greater sensitivity, a real-time FCAS search has been impossible so far with traditional optimization methods using deterministic or Markovian parameter space sampling. We introduce a solution combining Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with GPU acceleration that achieves a \(\approx 48\) -fold speed-up over real-time analysis, and a potential latency of \(\lesssim 5\) sec, for the demanding scenario of a 4-detector network and low-mass signals. With large-scale simulations of Frequentist parameter estimation errors in an FCAS search now possible, we explore the regularization of the inverse problem in network analysis.
