Equivalence Principle Violation in Weakly Vainshtein-Screened Systems

Alexander V. Belikov, Wayne Hu

Massive gravity, galileon and braneworld models that modify gravity to explain cosmic acceleration utilize the nonlinear field interactions of the Vainshtein mechanism to screen fi…

Next-to-next-to-leading order spin-orbit effects in the near-zone metric and precession equations of compact binaries

Alejandro Bohé, Sylvain Marsat, Guillaume Faye +1

We extend our previous work devoted to the computation of the next-to-next-to-leading order spin-orbit correction (corresponding to 3.5PN order) in the equations of motion of spinn…

Neutron-star mergers in scalar-tensor theories of gravity

Enrico Barausse, Carlos Palenzuela, Marcelo Ponce +1

Scalar-tensor theories of gravity are natural phenomenological alternatives to General Relativity, where the gravitational interaction is mediated by a scalar degree of freedom, be…

Time-dependent spherically symmetric covariant Galileons

Eugeny Babichev, Gilles Esposito-Farese

We study spherically symmetric solutions of the cubic covariant Galileon model in curved spacetime in presence of a matter source, in the test scalar field approximation. We show t…

Slowly rotating black holes in Horava-Lifshitz gravity

Enrico Barausse, Thomas P. Sotiriou

In a recent paper we claimed that there there are no slowly rotating, stationary, axisymmetric black holes in the infrared limit of Horava-Lifshitz gravity, provided that they are…

First Law of Mechanics for Black Hole Binaries with Spins

Luc Blanchet, Alessandra Buonanno, Alexandre Le Tiec

We use the canonical Hamiltonian formalism to generalize to spinning point particles the first law of mechanics established for binary systems of non-spinning point masses moving o…

Next-to-next-to-leading order spin-orbit effects in the equations of motion of compact binary systems

Sylvain Marsat, Alejandro Bohe, Guillaume Faye +1

We compute next-to-next-to-leading order spin contributions to the post-Newtonian equations of motion for binaries of compact objects, such as black holes or neutron stars. For max…

Non-Gaussianity in the Cosmic Microwave Background Induced by Dipolar Dark Matter

Luc Blanchet, David Langlois, Alexandre Le Tiec +1

In previous work [L. Blanchet and A. Le Tiec, Phys. Rev. D 80, 023524 (2009)], motivated by the phenomenology of dark matter at galactic scales, a model of dipolar dark matter (DDM…

Spin effects on gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries at second post-Newtonian order

Alessandra Buonanno, Guillaume Faye, Tanja Hinderer

We calculate the gravitational waveform for spinning, precessing compact binary inspirals through second post-Newtonian order in the amplitude. When spins are collinear with the or…

On the constraint equations in Einstein-aether theories and the weak gravitational field limit

David Garfinkle, James Isenberg, Jose M. Martin-Garcia

We discuss the set of constraints for Einstein-aether theories, comparing the flat background case with what is expected when the gravitational fields are dynamic. We note potentia…

Plane waves in the generalized Galileon theory

Eugeny Babichev

We present an exact plane wave solution of the most general shift-symmetric Horndeski (generalized Galileon) theory. The solution consists of the scalar part, and the gravitational…

The third and a half post-Newtonian gravitational wave quadrupole mode for quasi-circular inspiralling compact binaries

Guillaume Faye, Sylvain Marsat, Luc Blanchet +1

We compute the quadrupole mode of the gravitational waveform of inspiralling compact binaries at the third and a half post-Newtonian (3.5PN) approximation of general relativity. Th…

Revisiting metric perturbations in tensor-vector-scalar theory

Martin Feix

I revisit cosmological perturbations in Bekenstein's tensor-vector-scalar theory (TeVeS). Considering only scalar modes in the conformal Newtonian gauge, the extra degrees of freed…

Effective action approach to higher-order relativistic tidal interactions in binary systems and their effective one body description

Donato Bini, Thibault Damour, Guillaume Faye

The gravitational-wave signal from inspiralling neutron-star--neutron-star (or black-hole--neutron-star) binaries will be influenced by tidal coupling in the system. An important s…

Low-frequency gravitational-wave science with eLISA/NGO

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Sofiane Aoudia, Stanislav Babak +27

We review the expected science performance of the New Gravitational-Wave Observatory (NGO, a.k.a. eLISA), a mission under study by the European Space Agency for launch in the early…

Reply to the comment on: "Does an atom interferometer test the gravitational redshift at the Compton frequency?"

Peter Wolf, Luc Blanchet, Christian J. Bordé +3

Hohensee, Chu, Peters and Müller have submitted a comment (arXiv:1112.6039 [gr-qc]) on our paper "Does an atom interferometer test the gravitational redshift at the Compton frequen…

Gravitational Recoil From Accretion-Aligned Black-Hole Binaries

Carlos O. Lousto, Yosef Zlochower, Massimo Dotti +1

We explore the newly discovered "hangup-kick" effect, which greatly amplifies the recoil for configuration with partial spin- orbital-angular momentum alignment, by studying a set…

Cosmological Backgrounds of Gravitational Waves and eLISA/NGO: Phase Transitions, Cosmic Strings and Other Sources

Pierre Binétruy, Alejandro Bohé, Chiara Caprini +1

We review several cosmological backgrounds of gravitational waves accessible to direct-detection experiments, with a special emphasis on those backgrounds due to first-order phase…
