Mechanics of higher-dimensional black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space-times

Abhay Ashtekar, Tomasz Pawlowski, Chris Van Den Broeck

We construct a covariant phase space for Einstein gravity in dimensions d>=4 with negative cosmological constant, describing black holes in local equilibrium. Thus, space-times und…

Binary black hole spectroscopy

Chris Van Den Broeck, Anand S. Sengupta

We study parameter estimation with post-Newtonian (PN) gravitational waveforms for the quasi-circular, adiabatic inspiral of spinning binary compact objects. The performance of amp…

Detecting extreme mass ratio inspiral events in LISA data using the Hierarchical Algorithm for Clusters and Ridges (HACR)

Jonathan R Gair, Gareth Jones

One of the most exciting prospects for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the detection of gravitational waves from the inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects into…

Phenomenology of amplitude-corrected post-Newtonian gravitational waveforms for compact binary inspiral. I. Signal-to-noise ratios

Chris Van Den Broeck, Anand S. Sengupta

We study the phenomenological consequences of amplitude-corrected post-Newtonian (PN) gravitational waveforms, as opposed to the more commonly used restricted PN waveforms, for the…

Coherent searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: results from the second LIGO science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, pr…

Imprints of Relic Gravitational Waves in Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

D. Baskaran, L. P. Grishchuk, A. G. Polnarev

A strong variable gravitational field of the very early Universe inevitably generates relic gravitational waves by amplifying their zero-point quantum oscillations. We begin our di…

Testing post-Newtonian theory with gravitational wave observations

K. G. Arun, B. R. Iyer, M. S. S. Qusailah +1

The Laser Interferometric Space Antenna (LISA) will observe supermassive black hole binary mergers with amplitude signal-to-noise ratio of several thousands. We investigate the ext…

Probing the non-linear structure of general relativity with black hole binaries

K. G. Arun, B. R. Iyer, M. S. S. Qusailah +1

Observations of the inspiral of massive binary black holes (BBH) in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and stellar mass binary black holes in the European Gravitational-…

A template bank to search for gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries I: physical models

S. Babak, R. Balasubramanian, D. Churches +2

Gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries are searched using the matched filtering technique. As the model waveform depends on a number of parameters, it is necessary to…

A principal component analysis for LISA -- the TDI connection

J. D. Romano, G. Woan

Data from the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to be dominated by frequency noise from its lasers. However the noise from any one laser appears more than once…
