Accelerating relativistic reference frames in Minkowski space-time

Slava G. Turyshev, Olivier L. Minazzoli, Viktor T. Toth

We study accelerating relativistic reference frames in Minkowski space-time under the harmonic gauge. It is well-known that the harmonic gauge imposes constraints on the components…

Reduced Basis representations of multi-mode black hole ringdown gravitational waves

Sarah Caudill, Scott E. Field, Chad R. Galley +2

We construct compact and high accuracy Reduced Basis (RB) representations of single and multiple quasinormal modes (QNMs). The RB method determines a hierarchical and relatively sm…

The gravitational-wave memory from eccentric binaries

Marc Favata

The nonlinear gravitational-wave memory causes a time-varying but nonoscillatory correction to the gravitational-wave polarizations. It arises from gravitational waves that are sou…

Beyond Fisher: exact sampling distributions of the maximum-likelihood estimator in gravitational-wave parameter estimation

Michele Vallisneri

Gravitational-wave astronomers often wish to characterize the expected parameter-estimation accuracy of future observations. The Fisher matrix provides a lower bound on the spread…

Support for temporally varying behavior of the Pioneer anomaly from the extended Pioneer 10 and 11 Doppler data sets

Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth, Jordan Ellis +1

The Pioneer anomaly is a small sunward anomalous acceleration found in the trajectory analysis of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. As part of the investigation of the effect, anal…

A nonlinear scalar model of extreme mass ratio inspirals in effective field theory II. Scalar perturbations and a master source

Chad R. Galley

The motion of a small compact object (SCO) in a background spacetime is investigated further in a class of model nonlinear scalar field theories having a perturbative structure ana…

OSS (Outer Solar System): A fundamental and planetary physics mission to Neptune, Triton and the Kuiper Belt

Bruno Christophe, Linda J. Spilker, John D. Anderson +46

The present OSS mission continues a long and bright tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals…

An improved, "phase-relaxed" F-statistic for gravitational-wave data analysis

Curt Cutler

Rapidly rotating, slightly non-axisymmetric neutron stars emit nearly periodic gravitational waves (GWs), quite possibly at levels detectable by ground-based GW interferometers. We…

Pulsar Timing Sensitivities to Gravitational Waves from Relativistic Metric Theories of Gravity

Marcio Eduardo da Silva Alves, Massimo Tinto

Pulsar timing experiments aimed at the detection of gravitational radiation have been performed for decades now. With the forthcoming construction of large arrays capable of tracki…

Nano-Hertz Gravitational Waves Searches with Interferometric Pulsar Timing Experiments

Massimo Tinto

We estimate the sensitivity to nano-Hertz gravitational waves of pulsar timing experiments in which two highly-stable millisecond pulsars are tracked simultaneously with two neighb…

Pulsar Timing Sensitivity to Very-Low-Frequency Gravitational Waves

Fredrick A. Jenet, J. W. Armstrong, Massimo Tinto

At nanohertz frequencies gravitational waves (GWs) cause variations in time-of-arrival of pulsar signals potentially measurable via precision timing observations. Here we compute v…

Reduced basis catalogs for gravitational wave templates

Scott E. Field, Chad R. Galley, Frank Herrmann +3

We introduce a reduced basis approach as a new paradigm for modeling, representing and searching for gravitational waves. We construct waveform catalogs for non-spinning compact bi…
