Gravitational waves
Alessandra Buonanno
These lectures are envisioned to be an introductory, basic course in gravitational-wave physics.
Anatomy of the binary black hole recoil: A multipolar analysis
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Alessandra Buonanno, James R. van Meter +5
We present a multipolar analysis of the gravitational recoil computed in recent numerical simulations of binary black hole (BH) coalescence, for both unequal masses and non-zero, n…
Toward faithful templates for non-spinning binary black holes using the effective-one-body approach
Alessandra Buonanno, Yi Pan, John G. Baker +4
We present an accurate approximation of the full gravitational radiation waveforms generated in the merger of non-eccentric systems of two non-spinning black holes. Utilizing infor…
A data-analysis driven comparison of analytic and numerical coalescing binary waveforms: nonspinning case
Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno, John G. Baker +5
We compare waveforms obtained by numerically evolving nonspinning binary black holes to post-Newtonian (PN) template families currently used in the search for gravitational waves b…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
TASI Lectures on Gravitational Waves from the Early Universe
Alessandra Buonanno
These lectures discuss how the direct detection of gravitational waves can be used to probe the very early Universe. We review the main cosmological mechanisms which could have pro…
