The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Universal features of gravitational waves emitted by superkick binary black hole systems
Sizheng Ma, Matthew Giesler, Vijay Varma +2
We use numerical relativity to study the merger and ringdown stages of "superkick" binary black hole systems (those with equal mass and anti-parallel spins). We find a universal wa…
Extending superposed harmonic initial data to higher spin
Sizheng Ma, Matthew Giesler, Mark Scheel +1
Numerical simulations of binary black holes are accompanied by an initial spurious burst of gravitational radiation (called `junk radiation') caused by a failure of the initial dat…
Eccentric binary black hole surrogate models for the gravitational waveform and remnant properties: comparable mass, nonspinning case
Tousif Islam, Vijay Varma, Jackie Lodman +6
We develop new strategies to build numerical relativity surrogate models for eccentric binary black hole systems, which are expected to play an increasingly important role in curre…
All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369
Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…
Up-down instability of binary black holes in numerical relativity
Vijay Varma, Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa +3
Binary black holes with spins that are aligned with the orbital angular momentum do not precess. However, post-Newtonian calculations predict that "up-down" binaries, in which the…
