Abstract
We present a new time-domain low-latency detection method forgenerating the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of inspiral gravitationalwaveforms (GWs) in detector data. Fast GW triggering will enableelectromagnetic observations of the prompt optical emission related togamma-ray burst (GRB) events.
Real-Time Low-Latency GW Triggering isEssential for Prompt Optical Follow-Up
Neutron star binary mergers are widely thought to be the progenitors ofshort hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Shown below is the current idea ofGRB - GW connection;

Time-Domain Low-Latency GW DetectionMethod
GWs are detected by performing a cross-correlation of the waveform andthe detector data, weighted 1/Sn(f ) (matched filter).
I Frequency domain correlation introduces latency (data segmenting)
I Time-domain correlation computationally expensive
I Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters provide a computationally cheaperalternative
Consider the simplest IIR filter,
yk = a1yk−1 + b0xk, (1)
which has the solution,
yk =

This is the cross-correlation of the input data xk a complex sinusoid wherea1 = e−(γl−iω)∆t and b0 is a complex constant.
Approximation of Inspiral Waveform as aSummation of Sinusoids
The inspiral waveform A(t)eiφ(t) can approximated by a linear summationof exponentially increasing constant frequency sinusoid’s with cutoff timestl,

Figure 3: The top three sinusoids (a-c) have different γ, ω and cutoff time factors. Thefourth panel (d) shows the linear addition of these, plus more scaled sinusoids. The fifthpanel (e) shows the exact inspiral-like waveform (Note that this figure is only for illustrativepurposes).
We create a bank of IIR filters, each with coefficients a1, b0 correspondingto a sinusoid with parameters ωl, γl, Al, and cutoff time tl.
99% Overlap Easily Achieved
By varying the number of sinusoids needed to approximate the inspiralwaveform, we can recover a very good overlap.

Real Time Filter Output same as MatchedFilter
The summation of parallel infiniteimpulse response filters (SPIIR)run on mock detector data, cancalculate an SNR almost the sameas the matched filter, but calcu-lated in real-time without segment-ing of data.
