Distinguishing black-hole spin-orbit resonances by their gravitational wave signatures. II: Full parameter estimation

July 20, 2015 by Davide Gerosa

This is a follow up of arXiv:1403.7147, just done better. Instead of overlaps, we do real injections in LIGO parameter-estimation codes to show that spin-orbit resonances are indeed detectable.
