Optical properties of the solar gravitational lens in the presence of the solar corona

Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth

We investigate the optical properties of the solar gravitational lens (SGL) in the presence of the solar corona. For this, we consider the combined influence of the static spherica…

Diffraction of light by the gravitational field of the Sun and the solar corona

Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth

We study the optical properties of the solar gravitational lens (SGL) under the combined influence of the static spherically symmetric gravitational field of the Sun---modeled with…

Constraining the parameters of GW150914 & GW170104 with numerical relativity surrogates

Prayush Kumar, Jonathan Blackman, Scott E. Field +7

Gravitational-wave detectors have begun to observe coalescences of heavy black holes at a consistent pace for the past few years. Accurate models of gravitational waveforms are ess…

Wave-optical treatment of the shadow cast by a large gravitating sphere

Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth

We study the shadow cast by a large gravitating sphere, similar to our Sun. For this, we consider the gravitational field produced by a static mass monopole within the first post-N…

Towards a framework for testing general relativity with extreme-mass-ratio-inspiral observations

Alvin J. K. Chua, Sonke Hee, Will J. Handley +5

Extreme-mass-ratio-inspiral observations from future space-based gravitational-wave detectors such as LISA will enable strong-field tests of general relativity with unprecedented p…

Detection and characterization of spin-orbit resonances in the advanced gravitational wave detectors era

Chaitanya Afle, Anuradha Gupta, Bhooshan Gadre +12

In this paper, we test the performance of templates in detection and characterization of Spin-orbit resonant (SOR) binaries. We use precessing SEOBNRv3 waveforms as well as {\it fo…
