Brans-Dicke gravity and the capture of stars by black holes: some asymptotic results
Bertrand Chauvineau, Alessandro D. A. M. Spallicci, Jean-Daniel Fournier
In the context of star capture by a black hole, a new noticeable difference between Brans-Dicke theory and general relativity gravitational radiation is pointed out. This feature s…
Automatic Mirror Alignment for VIRGO: First experimental demonstration of the Anderson technique on a large-scale interferometer
A. Freise
The French-Italian interferometric gravitational wave detector VIRGO is currently being commissioned. Its principal instrument is a Michelson laser interferometer with 3 km long op…
Satellite measurement of the Hannay angle
Alessandro D. A. M. Spallicci
The concept of a measurement of the yet unevaluated Hannay angle, by means of an Earth-bound satellite, adiabatically driven by the Moon, is shown herein. Numerical estimates are g…
Status of VIRGO
A. Freise
The French-Italian interferometric gravitational wave detector VIRGO is currently being commissioned. Its principal instrument is a Michelson interferometer with 3 km long optical…
Advanced VIRGO: detector optimization for gravitational waves by inspiralling binaries
Alessandro D. A. M. Spallicci, Sofiane Aoudia, Jose De Freitas Pacheco +2
For future configurations, we study the relation between the abatement of the noise sources and the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for coalescing binaries. Our aim is not the proposit…
