Binary black holes coalescence: transition from adiabatic inspiral to plunge
Alessandra Buonanno, Thibault Damour
Using two recent techniques giving non-perturbative re-summed estimates of the damping and of the conservative part of the dynamics of two-body systems, we describe the transition…
Optical noise correlations and beating the standard quantum limit in advanced gravitational-wave detectors
Alessandra Buonanno, Yanbei Chen
The uncertainty principle, applied naively to the test masses of a laser-interferometer gravitational-wave detector, produces a Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) on the interferometer's…
Reheating and dangerous relics in pre-big bang string cosmology
Alessandra Buonanno, Martin Lemoine, Keith A. Olive
We discuss the mechanism of reheating in pre-big bang string cosmology and we calculate the amount of moduli and gravitinos produced gravitationally and in scattering processes of…
Reduction of the two-body dynamics to a one-body description in classical electrodynamics
Alessandra Buonanno
We discuss the mapping of the conservative part of two-body electrodynamics onto that of a test charged particle moving in some external electromagnetic field, taking into account…
Transition from inspiral to plunge in binary black hole coalescences
Alessandra Buonanno, Thibault Damour
Combining recent techniques giving non-perturbative re-summed estimates of the damping and conservative parts of the two-body dynamics, we describe the transition between the adiab…
