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…
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…
Direct Detection of Gravity Waves through High-Precision Astrometry
Redouane Fakir
It is generally accepted that a first ever direct detection of gravity waves would herald a new era in astronomy and in fundamental physics. Ever since the early sixties, increasin…
