چکیده

We show upper bound on the amplitude of gravitational waves around 0.1 Hz from the global posioning system (GPS). Since the atomic clocks which these satellites have are stabilized with the accuracy ∆ν/ν ≃ 10 −15 , the GPS can provide the precise navigations and enable one to calibrate the primary standard for frequency on the ground. Although the attitude of these satellites is approximetaly twenty thousand kilometers, one can stabilize one's oscillator with the accuracy ∆ν/ν ≃ 10 −12 with phase-locked loop circuits by receiving the radio wave emitted by GPS satellites for one or one hundred seconds. To take advantage of the Doppler tracking method, we have found that this it has already placed a meaningful constraint on the strain amplitude of continuous component of GWs as h c < 4.8 × 10 −12 at frequency range 10 −2 ≲ f ≲ 10 0 Hz. This work is documented in arXiv 1402.4521[1].

A 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...

امواج گرانشی حرارتی در فاز شتاب‌دار کیهان

Gravitational waves are considered in thermal vacuum state. The amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves are found enhanced in thermal vacuum state compared to its zero temperature counterpart. Therefore, the allowed amount of enhancement depends on the upper bound of WMAP-5 and WMAP-7 for the amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves. The enhancement of ...

Detection and Modeling of Medium-Scale Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances in Iran Region

Ionosphere layer variations are divided into regular and irregular. Regular changes can be considered as daily changes, changes depending on latitude and changes due to solar activity. Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances (TID) is one of the irregular changes of ionosphere which categorized in small, medium and large scales. Medium-scale Travelling Ionospheric Disturbance (MSTID) which are propa...

Gravitational waves are the last unconfirmed prediction of the general relativity. These waves are tiny fluctuations in world frame that dessipate energy throghout space. The gravitatinal waves spectra of fluctuations can be originated from the non-linear effects during different cosmic evolution periods, especially from initially non-linear and excited vacuum state in the very early universe. ...
