Action and Energy of the Gravitational Field

J. D. Brown, S. R. Lau, J. W. York

We present a detailed examination of the variational principle for metric general relativity as applied to a ``quasilocal'' spacetime region $\M$ (that is, a region that is both sp…

An excess power statistic for detection of burst sources of gravitational radiation

Warren G. Anderson, Patrick R. Brady, Jolien D. E. Creighton +1

We examine the properties of an excess power method to detect gravitational waves in interferometric detector data. This method is designed to detect short-duration (< 0.5 s) burst…

Quasi-circular Orbits for Spinning Binary Black Holes

Harald P. Pfeiffer, Saul A. Teukolsky, Gregory B. Cook

Using an effective potential method we examine binary black holes where the individual holes carry spin. We trace out sequences of quasi-circular orbits and locate the innermost st…

Black hole evolution by spectral methods

Lawrence E. Kidder, Mark A. Scheel, Saul A. Teukolsky +2

Current methods of evolving a spacetime containing one or more black holes are plagued by instabilities that prohibit long-term evolution. Some of these instabilities may be due to…

A power filter for the detection of burst sources of gravitational radiation in interferometric detectors

Warren G. Anderson, Patrick R. Brady, Jolien D. E. Creighton +1

We present a filter for detecting gravitational wave signals from burst sources. This filter requires only minimal advance knowledge of the expected signal: i.e. the signal's frequ…
