Accuracy of source localization for eccentric inspiraling binary mergers using a ground-based detector network

Understand

The problem of gravitational wave parameter estimation and source localization is crucial in gravitational wave astronomy.

• Gravitational waves emitted by compact binary coalescences in the sensitivity band of second-generation ground-based detectors could have non-negligible eccentricities.
• Thus it is an interesting topic to study how the eccentricity of a binary source affects and improves the accuracy of its localization (and the signal-to-noise ratio).
• In this work we continue to investigate this effect with the enhanced postcircular waveform model.
