=== Isabel Leonor - searches for unmodeled GWs in coincidence with GRB ===

- get trigger time, search on 180 s segment surrounding trigger
- compute cross-correlation in windows, look for largest
- compare with off-source cross-correlations to establish significance
- results consistent with null hypothesis

=== Richard O'Shaughnessy - probability of detecting CBCs with enhanced LIGO ===

- models for isolated binary evolution; changes in parameters affect results
- also convolve with star-formation history of the Universe
- systematics: simulations with few binaries
- current estimate for enhanced LIGO: 0.34/yr (not including globular clusters)

=== Romain Gouaty - detection-confidence tests for CBC candidates ===

- nonstationarity produces accidental coincidence triggers (background)
- detection checklist
	- check figures of merit (state vector, inspiral range); e.g., candidate happens which range is dropping
	- data quality flags, scimon/operator comments
	- statistical significance
	- check for transients in auxiliary group
	- candidate appearance in Qscans, SNR and chi^2 time series
	- look for correlation between H1 and H2
- this checklist is being automated, and Virgo tests will be included soon

=== Thomas Cokelaer - parameter estimation of inspiralling compact binaries ===

- nonspinning compact binaries, inspiral-only, initial LIGO
- restricted waveform, SPA, covariance matrix
- tau0 = A0/eta M^(-5/3), tau3 = A3/eta M^(-2/3)
- study parameter estimation at low SNRs with template-bank Monte Carlo
- find match at SNR > 20 except for equal mass system, where ML estimation does 2x better at high SNR; matched if nonphysical (i.e. masses) tau3's included in search
- MV: explained by biased-estimator limit

=== Jim Cordes - radio pulsar overview ===

- TF search techniques, acceleration parameters
- time-domain searches, reveal sporadic searches
- possible prompt radio burst from GRB recently detected (Nature Express Sep 2007)
- 10^4 pulsars by 2020, 300 timed routines
- connections with GW: radio discovered targets, transient sources, algorithms, vulnerability to budget cuts
