A Study of the Gravitational Wave Pulsar Signal with Orbital and Spindown Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we present analytic and numerical treatments of the gravitational wave signal from a pulsar which includes spindown. We consider phase corrections to a received monochromatic signal due to rotational and elliptical orbital motion of the Earth, as well as perturbations due to Jupiter and the Moon. We discuss the Fourier transform of such a signal, which is expressed in terms of well known special functions and lends itself to a tractable numerical analysis.

From the observation of the millisecond pulsar in SN 1987A, the following implications are obtained. 1) The pulsar spindown in SN 1987A is caused by radiating gravitational waves rather than by magnetic dipole radiation and/or relativistic pulsar winds. 2) A mildly deformed shock wave would be formed at the core-collapse and explosion in SN 1987A, which is consistent with the conclusion derived...
متن کاملChebyshev Derived Spindown Parameters for Gravita- Tional Wave Signals from Pulsars
The master equation described by Badri Krishnan et al. [1] for the time-frequency pattern using the F-statistic is studied in context of the Chebyshev polynomial modified spindown parameters for the case of gravitational wave (GW) pulsar signals. The Chebyshev polynomial method enables an analytic and numeric evaluation of the Fourier transform (FT) for both the non-demodulated and F-statistic ...
متن کاملA Decision between Bayesian and Frequentist Upper Limit in Analyzing Continuous Gravitational Waves
Given the sensitivity of current ground-based Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. Hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. While with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...
متن کاملA Timing Signature of Gravitational Radiation from LMXB Neutron Stars
The coupled evolution of the spin frequency, core temperature, and r–mode amplitude of an accreting neutron star is calculated. We focus on those conditions that can produce persistent gravitational radiation from the rmode. During X-ray quiescent phases of transient LMXBs, one may be able to identify the constant contribution of the gravitational wave emission to the spindown rate. Another sig...
متن کاملAn Analytic Study of the Gravitational Wave Pulsar Signal with Spin down Effects
In this work, we present the analytic treatment of the Fourier Transform (FT) of the Gravitational Wave (GW) signal from a pulsar including spin down corrections in a parametrized model discussed by Brady et. al. [1]. The formalism lends itself to a development of the FT in terms of well known special functions and integrals defining the spin down moments.
