The cosmological constant and advanced gravitational wave detectors
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors could measure the frequency sweep of a binary inspiral [characterized by its chirp mass] to high accuracy. The observed chirp mass is the intrinsic chirp mass of the binary source multiplied by (1 + z), where z is the redshift of the source. Assuming a nonzero cosmological constant, we compute the expected redshift distribution of observed events for...
متن کاملCosmological Gravitational Wave Backgrounds
An overview is presented of possible cosmologically distant sources of gravitational wave backgrounds, especially those which might produce detectable backgrounds in the LISA band between 0.1 and 100 mHz. Examples considered here include inflation-amplified vacuum fluctuations in inflaton and graviton fields, bubble collisions in first-order phase transitions, Goldstone modes of classical self-...
متن کاملGravitational Gauge Fields and the Cosmological Constant
ADSTRACT We describe field theories for which the action is completely independent of the metric and connection of the space-time manifold. The metric in our approach is no more a fundamental field than a hadron field is a fundamental field in &CD. The fundamental fields in the action are O(5) gauge fields and combinations of these fields are interpreted as the metric and connection so that con...
متن کاملCosmological inference using only gravitational wave observations of binary neutron stars
Gravitational waves emitted during the coalescence of binary neutron star systems are selfcalibrating signals. As such, they can provide a direct measurement of the luminosity distance to a source without the need for a cross-calibrated cosmic distance-scale ladder. In general, however, the corresponding redshift measurement needs to be obtained via electromagnetic observations since it is tota...
متن کاملGravitational Perfect Fluid Collapse With Cosmological Constant
In this paper, the effect of a positive cosmological constant on spherically symmetric collapse with perfect fluid has been investigated. The matching conditions between static exterior and non-static interior spacetimes are given in the presence of a cosmological constant. We also study the apparent horizons and their physical significance. It is concluded that the cosmological constant slows ...
