Hollow sphere as a detector of gravitational radiation

The most important features of the proposed spherical gravitational wave detectors are closely linked with their symmetry. Hollow spheres share this property with solid ones, considered in the literature so far, and constitute an interesting alternative for the realization of an omnidirectional gravitational wave detector. In this paper we address the problem of how a hollow elastic sphere inte...

Calculating Gravitational Radiation from Collisions

The development of both groundand space-based gravitational wave detectors provides new opportunities to observe the radiation from binaries containing neutron stars and black holes. Numerical simulations in 3-D are essential for calculating the coalescence waveforms, and comprise some of the most challenging problems in astrophysics today. This article briefly reviews the current status of eff...

Forensic acquisition and analysis of magnetic tapes

Recovering evidential data from magnetic tapes in a forensically sound manner is a difficult task. There are many different tape technologies in existence today and an even greater number of archive formats used. This paper discusses the issues and challenges involved in the forensic acquisition and analysis of magnetic tapes. It identifies areas of slack space on tapes and discusses the challe...
