Contribution of Compact Mass Transferring Systems to the Galactic Gravitational Wave Background
Krzysztof Belczynski, Matthew Benacquista, Shane L. Larson +1
Compact object binaries, mostly double with dwarfs, are believed to be a potential source of confusion-limited noise for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). In a specifi…
Gravitational Waves: new observatories for new astronomy
Louis J. Rubbo, Shane L. Larson, Michelle B. Larson +1
This article reviews the current status of gravitational wave astronomy and explains why astronomers are excited about the new generation of gravitational wave detectors. As part o…
Semi-relativistic approximation to gravitational radiation from encounters with nonspinning black holes
Jonathan R Gair, Daniel J Kennefick, Shane L Larson
The capture of compact bodies by black holes in galactic nuclei is an important prospective source for low frequency gravitational wave detectors, such as the planned Laser Interfe…
Gravitational radiation timescales for extreme mass ratio inspirals
Jonathan R Gair, Daniel J Kennefick, Shane L Larson
The capture and inspiral of compact stellar masses into massive black holes is an important source of low-frequency gravitational waves (with frequencies of ~1-100mHz), such as tho…
Science Icebreaker Activities: An Example from Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Michelle B. Larson, Louis J. Rubbo, Kristina D. Zaleski +1
At the beginning of a class or meeting an icebreaker activity is often used to help loosen the group and get everyone talking. Our motivation is to develop activities that serve th…
