Analytic approximations, perturbation methods, and their applications
P. Jaranowski, K. G. Arun, L. Barack +33
The paper summarizes the parallel session B3 {\em Analytic approximations, perturbation methods, and their applications} of the GR18 conference. The talks in the session reported n…
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational wa…
Gravitational waves
Alessandra Buonanno
These lectures are envisioned to be an introductory, basic course in gravitational-wave physics.
Estimating the final spin of a binary black hole coalescence
Alessandra Buonanno, Lawrence E. Kidder, Luis Lehner
We present a straightforward approach for estimating the final black hole spin of a binary black hole coalescence with arbitrary initial masses and spins. Making some simple assump…
Relating gravitational wave constraints from primordial nucleosynthesis, pulsar timing, laser interferometers, and the CMB: implications for the early universe
Latham A. Boyle, Alessandra Buonanno
We derive a general master equation relating the gravitational-wave observables r and Omega_gw(f). Here r is the tensor-to-scalar ratio, constrained by cosmic-microwave-background…
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…
