Multi-band Astronomy with LISA
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss astrophysical scenarios relevant to the generation of gravitational waves (GW) and effects expected to arise from the interaction of GW and electromagnetic (EM) radiation. A strong programme of coordinated GW and EM astrophysical studies must be established in order to ensure the exploitation of the full scientific potential of the LISA mission. We describe on-going astrophysical work, and suggest alternative approaches to current studies, which are relevant to these considerations.

Will Einstein Have the Last Word on Gravity? Gravitational wave observations probe strong-field nonlinear gravity
This is a whitepaper submitted to the 2010 Astronomy Decadal Review process, addressing the potential tests of gravity theory that could be made by observations of gravitational waves in the milliHertz frequency band by the proposed ESA-NASA gravitational wave observatory LISA. A key issue is that observations in this band of binary systems consisting of black holes offer very clean tests with ...
متن کاملEvaluation of New MOND Interpolating Function with Rotation Curves of Galaxies
The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...

متن کاملMAD-4-MITO, a Multi Array of Detectors for ground-based mm/submm SZ observations
The last few years have seen a large development of mm technology and ultra-sensitive detectors devoted to microwave astronomy and astrophysics. The possibility to deal with large numbers of these detectors assembled into multi–pixel imaging systems has greatly improved the performance of microwave observations, even from ground–based stations, especially combining the power of multi–band detec...
متن کاملDeep Surveys of Massive Black Holes with LISA
Massive black hole binary systems – with mass in the range ∼ 10 M⊙ 10 M⊙ – are among the most interesting sources for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA); gravitational radiation emitted during the last year of in-spiral could be detectable with a very large (∼ 10) signal-to-noise ratio for sources at cosmological distance. Here we discuss the impact of LISA for astronomy and cosmolog...
