Long-Lived Inverse Chirp Signals from Core-Collapse in Massive Scalar-Tensor Gravity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This Letter considers stellar core collapse in massive scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The presence of a mass term for the scalar field allows for dramatic increases in the radiated gravitational wave signal. There are several potential smoking gun signatures of a departure from general relativity associated with this process. These signatures could show up within existing LIGO-Virgo searches.

Estimating spinning binary parameters and testing alternative theories of gravity with LISA
We investigate the effect of spin-orbit and spin-spin couplings on the estimation of parameters for inspiralling compact binaries of massive black holes, and for neutron stars inspiralling into intermediate-mass black holes, using hypothetical data from the proposed Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We work both in Einstein’s theory and in alternative theories of gravity of the scalar-...
متن کاملGravitational waves from the collapse and bounce of a stellar core in tensor-scalar gravity
Tensor-scalar theory of gravity allows the generation of gravitational waves from astrophysical sources, like Supernovæ, even in the spherical case. That motivated us to study the collapse of a degenerate stellar core, within tensor-scalar gravity, leading to the formation of a neutron star through a bounce and the formation of a shock. We discuss in this paper the effects of the scalar field o...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of stellar collapse in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
We present numerical-relativity simulations of spherically symmetric core collapse and compact-object formation in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The additional scalar degree of freedom introduces a propagating monopole gravitational-wave mode. Detection of monopole scalar waves with current and future gravitational-wave experiments may constitute smoking gun evidence for strong-field modif...
متن کاملComparing Solar - System , Binary - Pulsar , and Gravitational - Wave Tests of Gravity
This talk is based on my work in collaboration with Thibault Damour. We compare the probing power of different classes of gravity experiments: solar-system tests (weak-field regime), binary-pulsar tests (strong-field regime), and future gravitational-wave observations of inspi-ralling binaries (strong-field effects detected in our weak-gravitational-field conditions). This is done within the mo...
متن کاملSelf-similar collapse of a scalar field in dilaton gravity and critical behaviour
We present new analytical self-similar solutions describing a collapse of a massless scalar field in scalar-tensor theories. The solutions exhibit a type of critical behavior. The black hole mass for the near critical evolution is analytically obtained for several scalar-tensor theories and the critical exponent is calculated. Within the framework of the analytical models we consider it is foun...
