In this short review we discuss the relevance of ongoing research into stellar oscillations and associated instabilities for the detection of gravitational waves and the future field of “gravitational-wave astronomy”.

Multidimensional model describing the " cosmological " and/ or spherically symmetric configuration with (n + 1) Einstein spaces in the theory with several scalar fields and forms is considered. When electromagnetic composite p-brane ansatz is adopted, n " internal " spaces are Ricci-flat, one space M 0 has a non-zero curvature, and all p-branes do not " live " in M 0 , a class of exact solution...

We propose a novel BF-type formulation of real four-dimensional gravity, which generalizes previous models. In particular, it allows for an arbitrary Immirzi parameter. We also construct the analogue of the Urbantke metric for this model.

We report on a search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspirals in the data from the second science run of the LIGO interferometers. The search focused on binary systems with component masses between 3 and 20 M⊙. Optimally oriented binaries with distances up to 1 Mpc could be detected with efficiency of at least 90%. We found no events that could be identified as gravitational wa...
