| Abstract : | This decade should see numerous detection of compact binary mergers with the current generation of ground-based gravitational wave detectors, namely LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA. Some of these sources will likely carry signatures for the presence of exotic properties like the orbital eccentricity, higher modes, spin-precision and so on. Current searches are computionally expensive and resistant towards inclusion of such parameters in their search dimensionality. On the other hand Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) offers a fast and strainghtforward algorithm to tackle any arbitrary number of dimensions. We demonstrate a robust eccentric search for compact binary mergers using PSO. Orbital eccentricity can provide key insights into the formation scenarios of the mergers and can play a pivotal role in find their electromagnetic counterparts. |
