Sensitivity Studies for Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Observatories
S. Hild, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +136
Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a…
Forced motion near black holes
Jonathan R. Gair, Eanna E. Flanagan, Steve Drasco +2
We present two methods for integrating forced geodesic equations in the Kerr spacetime, which can accommodate arbitrary forces. As a test case, we compute inspirals under a simple…
Reconstructing the massive black hole cosmic history through gravitational waves
Alberto Sesana, Jonathan R. Gair, Emanuele Berti +1
The massive black holes we observe in galaxies today are the natural end-product of a complex evolutionary path, in which black holes seeded in proto-galaxies at high redshift grow…
Gravitational wave energy spectrum of a parabolic encounter
Christopher P. L. Berry, Jonathan R. Gair
We derive an analytic expression for the energy spectrum of gravitational waves from a parabolic Keplerian binary by taking the limit of the Peters and Matthews spectrum for eccent…
Fundamental physics and cosmology with LISA
Stanislav Babak, Jonathan R. Gair, Antoine Petiteau +1
In this article we give a brief review of the fundamental physics that can be done with the future space-based gravitational wave detector LISA. This includes detection of gravitat…
Intermediate-mass-ratio-inspirals in the Einstein Telescope. II. Parameter estimation errors
E. A. Huerta, Jonathan R. Gair
We explore the precision with which the Einstein Telescope (ET) will be able to measure the parameters of intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (IMRIs). We calculate the parameter esti…
