Gravitational radiation from accreting neutron stars

Bernard Schutz (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Neutron stars may emit steady gravitational wave signals that will be among the first kinds of gravitational wave signals that the new generation of interferometric detectors will search for. I consider here the possibility that accreting neutron stars may be driven into the steady emission of gravitational waves. I estimate the amplitudes that the waves may have if the accretion takes place at the Eddington limit, such as may happen when a neutron star spirals inside a giant star in...

Post-Newtonian approximation in the test particle limit

Misao Sasaki (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Gravitational radiation from a small mass particle orbiting a massive black hole can be analytically studied to a very high order in the post-Newtonian expansion. Thus it gives us useful information on the evolution of a coalescing compact binary star. In this talk, I report on recent progress made in the black-hole perturbation approach.

Stellar pulsations and gravitational waves

Kostas Kokkotas (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Pulsating stars are important sources of information for astrophysics. Nearly every star undergoes some kind of pulsation from the early stages of its formation until the very late ones i.e. the catastrophic creation of a supercompact object (white dwarf, neutron star or black hole). Pulsations of supercompact objects are of great importance for relativistic astrophysics since these pulsations are accompanied by the emission of gravitational radiation. In this review we shall discuss...

The laser interferometer gravitational wave observatory project LIGO

James Blackburn (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) will search for direct evidence of gravitational waves emitted by astrophysical sources in accord with Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. State of the art laser interferometers located in Hanford, Washington and Livingston Parish, Louisiana will unambiguously measure the infinitesimal displacements of isolated test masses which convey the signature of these gravitational waves. The initial implementation of LIGO will...

Theory of spacecraft Doppler tracking

Massimo Tinto (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We present a review of the spacecraft Doppler tracking technique used in broad band searches for gravitational waves in the millihertz frequency band. After deriving the transfer functions of a gravitational wave pulse and of the noise sources entering into the Doppler observable, we summarize the upper limits for the amplitudes of gravitational wave bursts, continuous, and of a stochastic background estimated by Doppler tracking experiments.
