Besides binary black holes, compact binaries with two neutron stars as well as neutron star/black hole systems emit transient gravitational waves (frequency modulated chirp) that can be detected by the interferometric detectors. Coherent WaveBurst is a wavelet-based detection pipeline for all-sky and all-time searches for short-duration gravitational wave transients. Here, we present Wavegraph, a new time-frequency clustering scheme integrated to coherent WaveBurst that is specifically dedicated to chirp-like gravitational-wave signals such as those emitted by compact binaries. We give a description of this algorithm and its performances. |
