Can the post-Newtonian gravitational waveform of an inspiraling binary be improved by solving the energy balance equation numerically?

Wolfgang Tichy, Eanna E. Flanagan, Eric Poisson

The detection of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries using matched filtering depends crucially on the availability of accurate template waveforms. We determine wh…

Spectral Methods for Numerical Relativity. The Initial Data Problem

Lawrence E. Kidder, Lee Samuel Finn

Numerical relativity has traditionally been pursued via finite differencing. Here we explore pseudospectral collocation (PSC) as an alternative to finite differencing, focusing par…

On the Stability of the Iterated Crank-Nicholson Method in Numerical Relativity

Saul A. Teukolsky

The iterated Crank-Nicholson method has become a popular algorithm in numerical relativity. We show that one should carry out exactly two iterations and no more. While the limit of…

Is the squeezing of relic gravitational waves produced by inflation detectable?

Bruce Allen, Eanna Flanagan, Maria Alessandra Papa

Grishchuk has shown that the stochastic background of gravitational waves produced by an inflationary phase in the early Universe has an unusual property: it is not a stationary Ga…

A Family of Gravitational Waveforms from Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars

Dong Lai

This note describes fitting formulae for the gravitational waveforms generated by a rapidly rotating neutron star (e.g., newly-formed in the core collapse of a supernova) as it evo…
