Gravitational Wave Physics
Gravitational waves are propagating fluctuations of gravitational fields, that is, ”ripples” in spacetime, generated mainly by moving massive bodies. These distortions of spacetime travel with the speed of light. Every body in the path of such a wave feels a tidal gravitational force that acts perpendicular to the waves direction of propagation; these forces change the distance between points, ...
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 کاملPhysics of Gravitational Wave Detection: Resonant and Interferometric Detectors
I review the physics of ground-based gravitational wave detectors, and summarize the history of their development and use. Special attention is paid to the historical roots of today’s detectors. *Supported by the National Science Foundation, under grant PHY-9602157 @ 1998 Peter R. Saulson.
متن کاملNew directions for gravitational wave physics via “Millikan oil drops”*
Editors’ note: The following chapter has been the subject of considerable controversy during the review process. Although one reviewer found the claim that gravitational waves could be detected or generated by the method proposed in this paper to be reasonable, the other reviewers found this claim to be highly questionable. In particular, the reviewers and editors believe that some statements i...
متن کاملThe gravitational wave rocket
Einstein’s equations admit solutions corresponding to photon rockets. In these a massive particle recoils because of the anisotropic emission of photons. In this paper we ask whether rocket motion can be powered only by the emission of gravitational waves. We use the double series approximation method and show that this is possible. A loss of mass and gain in momentum arise in the second approx...
