Gravitational-wave background from compact objects embedded in AGN accretion disks
Guenter Sigl, Jeremy Schnittman, Alessandra Buonanno
We consider a model in which massive stars form in a self-gravitating accretion disk around an active galactic nucleus (AGN). These stars may evolve and collapse to form compact ob…
Inspiral, merger and ring-down of equal-mass black-hole binaries
Alessandra Buonanno, Gregory B. Cook, Frans Pretorius
We investigate the dynamics and gravitational-wave (GW) emission in the binary merger of equal-mass black holes as obtained from numerical relativity simulations. Results from the…
Gravitational Waves from Compact Objects Accreting onto Active Galactic Nuclei
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Guenter Sigl, Alessandra Buonanno
We consider a model in which massive stars form in a self-gravitating accretion disk around an active galactic nucleus. These stars may evolve and collapse to form compact objects…
Coherent searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: results from the second LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, pr…
Higher-order spin effects in the dynamics of compact binaries II. Radiation field
Luc Blanchet, Alessandra Buonanno, Guillaume Faye
Motivated by the search for gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes, we investigate the gravitational radiation field of point particles with spins within the framework o…
Higher-order spin effects in the dynamics of compact binaries I. Equations of motion
Guillaume Faye, Luc Blanchet, Alessandra Buonanno
We derive the equations of motion of spinning compact binaries including the spin-orbit (SO) coupling terms one post-Newtonian (PN) order beyond the leading-order effect. For black…
