1304.0210 (Patrick J. Sutton)

A Rule of Thumb for the Detectability of Gravitational-Wave Bursts    [PDF]

Patrick J. Sutton
We derive a simple relationship between the energy emitted in gravitational waves for a narrowband source and the distance to which that emission can be detected by a single detector. We consider linearly polarized, elliptically polarized, and unpolarized gravitational waves, and emission patterns appropriate for each of these cases. We ignore cosmological effects.
