A Class of Effective Field Theory Models of Cosmic Acceleration
Jolyon K. Bloomfield, Eanna E. Flanagan
We explore a class of effective field theory models of cosmic acceleration involving a metric and a single scalar field. These models can be obtained by starting with a set of ultr…
Black hole-neutron star mergers for 10 solar mass black holes
Francois Foucart, Matthew D. Duez, Lawrence E. Kidder +3
General relativistic simulations of black hole-neutron star mergers have currently been limited to low-mass black holes (less than 7 solar mass), even though population synthesis m…
Accurate gravitational waveforms for binary-black-hole mergers with nearly extremal spins
Geoffrey Lovelace, Michael Boyle, Mark A. Scheel +1
Motivated by the possibility of observing gravitational waves from merging black holes whose spins are nearly extremal (i.e., 1 in dimensionless units), we present numerical wavefo…
A geometric approach to the precession of compact binaries
Michael Boyle, Robert Owen, Harald P. Pfeiffer
We discuss a geometrical method to define a preferred reference frame for precessing binary systems and the gravitational waves they emit. This minimal-rotation frame is aligned wi…
Luminosity distance in Swiss cheese cosmology with randomized voids. II. Magnification probability distributions
Éanna É. Flanagan, Naresh Kumar, Ira Wasserman +1
We study the fluctuations in luminosity distances due to gravitational lensing by large scale (> 35 Mpc) structures, specifically voids and sheets. We use a simplified "Swiss chees…
Visualizing Spacetime Curvature via Frame-Drag Vortexes and Tidal Tendexes I. General Theory and Weak-Gravity Applications
David A. Nichols, Robert Owen, Fan Zhang +8
When one splits spacetime into space plus time, the Weyl curvature tensor (vacuum Riemann tensor) gets split into two spatial, symmetric, and trace-free (STF) tensors: (i) the Weyl…
Inspiral-merger-ringdown multipolar waveforms of nonspinning black-hole binaries using the effective-one-body formalism
Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno, Michael Boyle +4
We calibrate an effective-one-body (EOB) model to numerical-relativity simulations of mass ratios 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, by maximizing phase and amplitude agreement of the leading (2,2…
OSS (Outer Solar System): A fundamental and planetary physics mission to Neptune, Triton and the Kuiper Belt
Bruno Christophe, Linda J. Spilker, John D. Anderson +46
The present OSS mission continues a long and bright tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals…
Implicit-explicit (IMEX) evolution of single black holes
Stephen R. Lau, Geoffrey Lovelace, Harald P. Pfeiffer
Numerical simulations of binary black holes---an important predictive tool for the detection of gravitational waves---are computationally expensive, especially for binaries with hi…
Uncertainty in hybrid gravitational waveforms: Optimizing initial orbital frequencies for binary black-hole simulations
Michael Boyle
A general method is presented for estimating the uncertainty in hybrid models of gravitational waveforms from binary black-hole systems with arbitrary physical parameters, and then…
Post-1-Newtonian tidal effects in the gravitational waveform from binary inspirals
Justin Vines, Tanja Hinderer, Éanna É. Flanagan
The gravitational wave signal from an inspiralling binary neutron star system will contain detailed information about tidal coupling in the system, and thus, about the internal phy…
Covariant formulation of the post-1-Newtonian approximation to General Relativity
Wolfgang Tichy, Eanna E. Flanagan
We derive a coordinate-independent formulation of the post-1-Newtonian approximation to general relativity. This formulation is a generalization of the Newton-Cartan geometric form…
