Ability to detect GW150914-like events using optimal sky position [4.5 yr]

FoM

Science investigation and Observational requirement: SI4.1 OR4.1 from Science requirement document.

Compute probability of detecting GW150914-like events with SNR>7 (optimally oriented on the sky) and evaluate its localization and time of merger

- OK 9.628820345144506 [1 5 10] : Probability to detect

Detectability OK if SNR>=7 for 4.5 years of observation

- OK 2.7243808641191674 [100 10 1] : Advanced sky localization

Localization OK if sky error < 10 sq.deg. for 4.5 years of observation and (time to merger) tc = 10 years

- NO 1564.9655068650131 [100 10 1] : Predict coalescence time

Coalescence time prediction OK if tc error < 10 min for 4.5 years of observation and (time to merger) tc = 10 years

Summary

We have assumed 4.5 years of observation with 0.89 duty cycle and SNR threshold: 7

We have conducted monte-carlo avec 10000 trials using LIGO posterior distribution IMRPhenomPv2_posterior and random angles and positions (except inclination for which we use LISA posterior distribution), assuming a time to coalescence of 10 years.

4.5: best 9.708394243691796, mean 5.452621773241172, median 5.240171287837384

We have used the 0.1% sources best SNR to derive Fisher mean errors

We have ignored polarization, inclination and phase in the Fisher sampling to avoid degeneracies
