Direct Detection of Gravity Waves from Neutron Stars
Redouane Al Fakir, William G. Unruh
In light of the discovery of the first-ever double pulsar system, PSR J0737-3039, we re-examine an earlier proposal to directly detect gravity waves from neutron stars, which was p…
Gravitational Interstellar Scintillation
Redouane Al Fakir
Gravitation could modulate the interstellar scintillation of pulsars in a way that is analogous to refractive interstellar scintillation (RISS). While RISS occurs when a large ioni…
General relativistic cosmology with no beginning of time
Redouane Fakir
We find that general relativity can be naturally free of cosmological singularities. Several nonsingular models are currently available that either assume ad hoc matter contents, o…
Nonstationary Stochastic Resonance
Redouane Fakir
It is by now established that, remarkably, the addition of noise to a nonlinear system may sometimes facilitate, rather than hamper the detection of weak signals. This phenomenon,…
Nonstationary Stochastic Resonance in a Single Neuron-Like System
Redouane Fakir
Stochastic resonance holds much promise for the detection of weak signals in the presence of relatively loud noise. Following the discovery of nondynamical and of aperiodic stochas…
A Macroscopic Gravity Wave Effect
Redouane Fakir
Gravitational waves, although generally associated with extremely microscopic effects, can displace by hundreds of kilometers the pulsar interstellar scintillation patterns that ba…
