• [03.03.'06] Posterior plots for the new `time-domain-template' code, run on a `self-injected' signal. The blue chain started at the true parameter values.

• [11.05.'06] Illustration of the posterior waveform -- the blue area is a 99% confidence region for the waveform; the cyan line is the median, and the red line is the true (injected) waveform (PDF file, 0.02 MB).
• [11.05.'06] Posterior densities for a burst signal at 361 Hz (PDF file, 0.1 MB), and the waveform's posterior (PDF file, 0.03 MB). Again, the blue area is a 99% confidence region for the waveform, and the red line is the true injected waveform.
• [27.06.'06] A map of the individual interferometers' and the network's `sensitivities' (for fixed psi and iota) (huge PDF file, 11.3 MB).
• [30.06.'06] Illustration of the inclination ambiguity that shows up at greater distances (PDF file, 0.78 MB). The left plot shows the two modes, the central plot illustrates that the `opposite inclination' mode is -in some sense- a mirror image of the correct mode, and the right plot shows the bimodal location distribution with its two modes corresponding to samples below and above pi/2.

• [24.10.'06] Two `selfmade' 3.5 PN injections at 10 Mpc (SNR=17.7) and 20 Mpc (SNR=8.8) distance (PDF files, 1.3 MB each).
• [24.10.'06] MCMC runs on Gianluca's injected signals:
  1.4/1.4 Ms inspiral at 700001930 s (not converged)
  1.4/3.5 Ms inspiral at 700002889 s (converged)
  1.4/9.0 Ms inspiral at 700004376 s (not converged)
  1.4/3.5 Ms inspiral at 700005005 s (converged).
  Inclination angle is 45°, and altitude and polarisation are zero for all 4 injections. Azimuth is 22.5° for the first three and zero for the last one. Coalescence times might be slightly off.
• [27.10.'06] Two illustrations showing the relation between inclination & distance. The left plot shows how the amplitude of a signal with amplitude 1 at distance 1 and inclination pi/2 would change for different inclinations / distances. Similarities to these carvings are probably coincidental.
• [27.10.'06] Updated plots for the MCMC runs on Gianluca's injected signals (only those that converged):
  1.4/3.5 Ms inspiral at 700002889 s,
  1.4/9.0 Ms inspiral at 700004376 s (this time started from true parameter values),
  1.4/3.5 Ms inspiral at 700005005 s .
