Self force of a static electric charge near a Schwarzschild Star
Karthik Shankar, Bernard F. Whiting
When a charge is held static near a constant density spherical star, it experiences a self-force which is significantly different from the force it would experience when placed nea…
Conformal coordinates of a constant density star
Karthik Shankar, Bernard. F. Whiting
It is well known that the interior of a constant density spherical star is conformally flat. In this paper we obtain the coordinate system in which the conformal flatness of the me…
Approximate Killing Vectors on S^2
Gregory B. Cook, Bernard F. Whiting
We present a new method for computing the best approximation to a Killing vector on closed 2-surfaces that are topologically S^2. When solutions of Killing's equation do not exist,…
Black hole puncture initial data with realistic gravitational wave content
Bernard J Kelly, Wolfgang Tichy, Manuela Campanelli +1
We present improved post-Newtonian-inspired initial data for non-spinning black-hole binaries, suitable for numerical evolution with punctures. We revisit the work of Tichy et al.…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
