Constraining Unmodeled Physics with Compact Binary Mergers from GWTC-1
Bruce Edelman, Francisco J. Rivera-Paleo, J. D. Merritt +8
We present a flexible model to describe the effects of generic deviations of observed gravitational wave signals from modeled waveforms in the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave det…
The Astrophysics of Resonant Orbits in the Kerr Metric
Jeandrew Brink, Marisa Geyer, Tanja Hinderer
This paper gives a complete characterization of resonant orbits in a Kerr spacetime. A resonant orbit is defined as a geodesic for which the longitudinal and radial orbital frequen…
Orbital resonances around Black holes
Jeandrew Brink, Marisa Geyer, Tanja Hinderer
We compute the length and timescales associated with resonant orbits in the Kerr Metric for all orbital and spin parameters. Resonance induced effects are potentially observable wh…
Avenues for Analytic exploration in Axisymmetric Spacetimes. Foundations and the Triad Formalism
Jeandrew Brink, Aaron Zimmerman, Tanja Hinderer
Axially symmetric spacetimes are the only models for isolated systems with continuous symmetries that also include dynamics. For such systems, we review the reduction of the vacuum…
A geometrically motivated coordinate system for exploring spacetime dynamics in numerical-relativity simulations using a quasi-Kinnersley tetrad
Fan Zhang, Jeandrew Brink, Béla Szilágyi +1
We investigate the suitability and properties of a quasi-Kinnersley tetrad and a geometrically motivated coordinate system as tools for quantifying both strong-field and wave-zone…
Visualizing Spacetime Curvature via Frame-Drag Vortexes and Tidal Tendexes I. General Theory and Weak-Gravity Applications
David A. Nichols, Robert Owen, Fan Zhang +8
When one splits spacetime into space plus time, the Weyl curvature tensor (vacuum Riemann tensor) gets split into two spatial, symmetric, and trace-free (STF) tensors: (i) the Weyl…
