Parameter estimation for inspiraling compact binaries with small orbital eccentricity
Abstract
While most observable inspiraling compact binaries are expected to be nearly circularized, some studies suggest that eccentricity will be non-negligible for a fraction of detectable events. We have recently developed a family of analytic post-Newtonian approximants that incorporate small orbital eccentricity. Using this waveform family we study how well eccentricity and other binary parameters can be measured using ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers.
