Late Inspiral and Merger of Binary Black Holes in Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity
James Healy, Tanja Bode, Roland Haas +4
Gravitational wave observations will probe non-linear gravitational interactions and thus enable strong tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity. We present a numerical rel…
Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…
Gravitational Waves from Quasicircular Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals as Probes of Scalar-Tensor Theories
Nicolas Yunes, Paolo Pani, Vitor Cardoso
A stellar-mass compact object spiraling into a supermassive black hole, an extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI), is one of the targets of future gravitational-wave detectors and it o…
Resonances in Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals: Asymptotic and Hyperasymptotic Analysis
Jonathan R Gair, Nicolas Yunes, Carl M Bender
An expected source of gravitational waves for future detectors in space are the inspirals of small compact objects into much more massive black holes. These sources have the potent…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…
Post-Newtonian, Quasi-Circular Binary Inspirals in Quadratic Modified Gravity
Kent Yagi, Leo C. Stein, Nicolas Yunes +1
We consider a general class of quantum gravity-inspired, modified gravity theories, where the Einstein-Hilbert action is extended through the addition of all terms quadratic in the…
Constraining Lorentz-violating, Modified Dispersion Relations with Gravitational Waves
Saeed Mirshekari, Nicolas Yunes, Clifford M. Will
Modified gravity theories generically predict a violation of Lorentz invariance, which may lead to a modified dispersion relation for propagating modes of gravitational waves. We c…
New Kludge Scheme for the Construction of Approximate Waveforms for Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals
Carlos F. Sopuerta, Nicolás Yunes
We introduce a new kludge scheme to model the dynamics of generic extreme mass-ratio inspirals (stellar compact objects spiraling into a spinning supermassive black hole) and to pr…
Testing General Relativity with LISA including Spin Precession and Higher Harmonics in the Waveform
Cédric Huwyler, Antoine Klein, Philippe Jetzer
We compute the accuracy at which a LISA-like space-based gravitational wave detector will be able to observe deviations from General Relativity in the low frequency approximation.…
Gravitational Wave Tests of General Relativity with the Parameterized Post-Einsteinian Framework
Neil Cornish, Laura Sampson, Nico Yunes +1
Gravitational wave astronomy has tremendous potential for studying extreme astrophysical phenomena and exploring fundamental physics. The waves produced by binary black hole merger…
Search for gravitational waves from binary black hole inspiral, merger and ringdown
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +721
We present the first modeled search for gravitational waves using the complete binary black hole gravitational waveform from inspiral through the merger and ringdown for binaries w…
Measuring parameters of massive black hole binaries with partially aligned spins
Ryan N. Lang, Scott A. Hughes, Neil J. Cornish
The future space-based gravitational wave detector LISA will be able to measure parameters of coalescing massive black hole binaries, often to extremely high accuracy. Previous wor…
