Gravitational waves from black hole binary inspiral and merger: The span of third post-Newtonian effective-one-body templates

Thibault Damour, Bala R. Iyer, Piotr Jaranowski +1

We extend the description of gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes during the final stages of inspiral and merger by introducing in the third post-Newtonian (3PN) effec…

Finite-Range Gravity and Its Role in Gravitational Waves, Black Holes and Cosmology

Stanislav V. Babak, L. P. Grishchuk

Theoretical considerations of fundamental physics, as well as certain cosmological observations, persistently point out to permissibility, and maybe necessity, of macroscopic modif…

A comparison of search templates for gravitational waves from binary inspiral - 3.5PN update

Thibault Damour, Bala R. Iyer, B. S. Sathyaprakash

Phasing formulas in a recent paper of ours' (Phys. Rev. D 63, 044023-1 (2001) are updated taking into account the recent 3.5PN results. Some misprints in the published version of t…

Approximating the inspiral of test bodies into Kerr black holes

Kostas Glampedakis, Scott A. Hughes, Daniel Kennefick

We present a new approximate method for constructing gravitational radiation driven inspirals of test-bodies orbiting Kerr black holes. Such orbits can be fully described by a semi…

Zoom & Whirl: Eccentric equatorial orbits around spinning black holes and their evolution under gravitational radiation reaction

Kostas Glampedakis, Daniel Kennefick

We study eccentric equatorial orbits of a test-body around a Kerr black hole under the influence of gravitational radiation reaction. We have adopted a well established two-step ap…

Computational Resources to Filter Gravitational Wave Data with P-approximant Templates

Edward K. Porter

The prior knowledge of the gravitational waveform from compact binary systems makes matched filtering an attractive detection strategy. This detection method involves the filtering…

Celestial mechanics in Kerr spacetime

Wolfram Schmidt

The dynamical parameters conventionally used to specify the orbit of a test particle in Kerr spacetime are the energy , the axial component of the angular momentum, , and…

The Early Universe Odyssey With Gravitational Waves

L. P. Grishchuk

This contribution summarizes some recent work on gravitational-wave astronomy and, especially, on the generation and detection of relic gravitational waves. We begin with a brief d…
