Improved spacecraft radio science using an on-board atomic clock: application to gravitational wave searches

Massimo Tinto, George J. Dick, John D. Prestage +1

Recent advances in space-qualified atomic clocks (low-mass, low power-consumption, frequency stability comparable to that of ground-based clocks) can enable interplanetary spacecra…

Relativistic gravitational deflection of light and its impact on the modeling accuracy for the Space Interferometry Mission

Slava G. Turyshev

We study the impact of relativistic gravitational deflection of light on the accuracy of future Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). We estimate the deflection angles caused by the…

The high-energy collision of two black holes

U. Sperhake, V. Cardoso, F. Pretorius +2

We study the head-on collision of two highly boosted equal mass, nonrotating black holes. We determine the waveforms, radiated energies, and mode excitation in the center of mass f…

Transformation of the multipolar components of gravitational radiation under rotations and boosts

L. Gualtieri, E. Berti, V. Cardoso +1

We study the transformation of multipolar decompositions of gravitational radiation under rotations and boosts. Rotations to the remnant black hole's frame simplify the waveforms f…

Accuracy of the Post-Newtonian Approximation: Optimal Asymptotic Expansion for Quasi-Circular, Extreme-Mass Ratio Inspirals

Nicolas Yunes, Emanuele Berti

We study the accuracy of the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation and its formal region of validity, by investigating its optimal asymptotic expansion for the quasi-circular, adiabati…

Towards adiabatic waveforms for inspiral into Kerr black holes: II. Dynamical sources and generic orbits

Pranesh A. Sundararajan, Gaurav Khanna, Scott A. Hughes +1

This is the second in a series of papers whose aim is to generate ``adiabatic'' gravitational waveforms from the inspiral of stellar-mass compact objects into massive black holes.…
