LISA as a dark energy probe

K G Arun, Chandra Kant Mishra, Chris Van Den Broeck +3

Recently it was shown that the inclusion of higher signal harmonics in the inspiral signals of binary supermassive black holes (SMBH) leads to dramatic improvements in parameter es…

Attractor Solution in Coupled Yang-Mills Field Dark Energy Models

Wen Zhao

We investigate the attractor solution in the coupled Yang-Mills field dark energy models with the general interaction term, and obtain the constraint equations for the interaction…

All-sky LIGO Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Early S5 Data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50--1100 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -5.…

On the `Stationary Implies Axisymmetric' Theorem for Extremal Black Holes in Higher Dimensions

Stefan Hollands, Akihiro Ishibashi

All known stationary black hole solutions in higher dimensions possess additional rotational symmetries in addition to the stationary Killing field. Also, for all known stationary…

Bayesian detection of unmodeled bursts of gravitational waves

Antony C. Searle, Patrick J. Sutton, Massimo Tinto

The data analysis problem of coherently searching for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in the data generated by a global network of gravitational-wave observatories has been at…

High-frequency corrections to the detector response and their effect on searches for gravitational waves

M. Rakhmanov, J. D. Romano, J. T. Whelan

Searches for gravitational waves with km-scale laser interferometers often involve the long-wavelength approximation to describe the detector response. The prevailing assumption is…

First joint search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO and GEO600 data

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the…

Quantum field theory in curved spacetime, the operator product expansion, and dark energy

S. Hollands, R. M. Wald

To make sense of quantum field theory in an arbitrary (globally hyperbolic) curved spacetime, the theory must be formulated in a local and covariant manner in terms of locally meas…

A geometric algorithm for efficient coincident detection of gravitational waves

C. A. K. Robinson, B. S. Sathyaprakash, Anand S. Sengupta

Data from a network of gravitational wave detectors can be analyzed in coincidence to increase detection confidence and reduce non-stationarity of the background. We propose and ex…

Axiomatic quantum field theory in curved spacetime

S. Hollands, R. M. Wald

The usual formulations of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime make crucial use of features--such as Poincare invariance and the existence of a preferred vacuum state--that…
