The Galactic Gravitational wave foreground
I present an overview of the Galactic binaries that form the foreground for the ESA/NASA Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). The currently known population is discussed, as well as current and near-future large-scale surveys that will find new systems. The astrophysics that can be done when the LISA data becomes available is presented, with particular attention to verification binaries, ...
متن کاملAn interferometric gravitational wave detector as a quantum-gravity apparatus
As a consequence of the extreme precision of the measurements it performs, a LIGO/VIRGO-type interferometric gravitational wave detector (IGWD) is a macroscopic apparatus for which quantum effects are not negligible. We observe that this property of IGWDs can be exploited to probe some aspects of the interface between Quantum Mechanics and Gravity. In particular, we find that IGWDs can test two...

متن کاملTesting Theories of Gravity with a Spherical Gravitational Wave Detector
We consider the possibility of discriminating different theories of gravity using a recently proposed gravitational wave detector of spherical shape. We argue that the spin content of different theories can be extracted relating the measurements of the excited spheroidal vibrational eigenmodes to the Newman-Penrose parameters. The sphere toroidal modes cannot be excited by any metric GW and can...
