Parameter estimation using a complete signal and inspiral templates for low-mass binary black holes with Advanced LIGO sensitivity

Abstract

We study the validity of inspiral templates in gravitational wave data analysiswith Advanced LIGO sensitivity for low mass binary black holes. We mainly focus on the nonspinning system. As ourcomplete inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model, we assume thephenomenological model, ‘PhenomA’, and define our inspiral template modelby taking the inspiral part into account up to the mergerfrequency.
