Gravitational-wave sources
The sources of gravitational radiation that seem to be most likely to be detected by planned groundand space-based gravitational-wave detectors are reviewed, with particular attention to the likely information that observations of them will reveal. A particular emphasis is placed on observations by LISA, the fundamental-physics Cornerstone project of the European Space Agency’s Horizon 2000+ pr...
متن کاملGravitational Wave Sources from New Physics
Forthcoming advances in direct gravitational wave detection from kilohertz to nanohertz frequencies have unique capabilities to detect signatures from or set meaningful constraints on a wide range of new cosmological phenomena and new fundamental physics. A brief survey is presented of the post-inflationary gravitational radiation backgrounds predicted in cosmologies that include intense new cl...
متن کاملAn Overview of Gravitational-wave Sources
Major relativity conferences such as GR16 traditionally include an overview talk on gravitational wave (GW) sources. Some excellent recent ones include those by Flanagan , Finn , and Bender et al. . Such talks are always by theorists, and can be described as basically informed speculation, since until now detectors sufficiently sensitive to detect GW’s have not existed. But km-scale laser inter...
متن کاملDouble Compact Objects as Low-frequency Gravitational Wave Sources
We study the galactic population of double compact objects (NS-NS, BH-NS, BH-BH binaries) to investigate the number (if any) of these systems that can potentially be detected with LISA at low gravitational-wave frequencies. We calculate the Galactic numbers and physical properties of these binaries and show their relative contribution from the disk, bulge and halo. It is found that, although th...
متن کاملFinding and Using Electromagnetic Counterparts of Gravitational Wave Sources
The principal goal of this whitepaper is not so much to demonstrate that gravitational wave detectors like LIGO and LISA will help answer many central questions in astronomy and astrophysics, but to make the case that they can help answer a far greater range of questions if we prepare to make the (sometimes substantial) effort to identify electromagnetic counterparts to the gravitational wave s...
