Nonlinear Gravitational-wave Memory from Binary Black Hole Mergers
Some astrophysical sources of gravitational-waves can produce a “memory effect,” which causes a permanent displacement of the test masses in a freely-falling gravitational-wave detector. The Christodoulou memory is a particularly interesting nonlinear form of memory that arises from the gravitational-wave stress-energy tensor’s contribution to the distant gravitational-wave field. This nonlinea...
متن کاملMergers of Binary Compact Objects
We work out the effects of hypercritical accretion, which transfers mass from the secondary to the primary (first-born) neutron star (NS) in a binary, showing that the mass of the primary would end up ∼ > 0.6M⊙ greater than the secondary NS in contradiction with the very nearly equal masses of the two NS’s in binaries measured to date. We discuss that the primary NS evolves into a low-mass blac...
متن کاملModulation of a Chirp Gravitational Wave from a Compact Binary due to Gravitational Lensing
A possible wave effect in the gravitational lensing phenomenon is discussed. We consider the interference of two coherent gravitational waves of slightly different frequencies from a compact binary, due to the gravitational lensing by a galaxy halo. This system shows the modulation of the wave amplitude. The lensing probability of such the phenomenon is of order 10 for a high-z source, but it m...
متن کاملRelativistic SPH Calculations of Compact Binary Mergers
We review recent progress in understanding the hydrodynamics of compact binary mergers using relativistic smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) codes. Recent results are discussed for both double neutron stars and black hole – neutron star binaries. The gravitational wave signals from these mergers contain a lot of information about the masses and radii of the stars and the equation of state of...
متن کاملSubtraction-noise projection in gravitational-wave detector networks
In this paper, we present a successful implementation of a subtraction-noise projection method into a simple, simulated data analysis pipeline of a gravitational-wave search. We investigate the problem to reveal a weak stochastic background signal which is covered by a strong foreground of compact-binary coalescences. The foreground, which is estimated by matched filters, has to be subtracted f...
