Numerical simulation of lunar response to gravitational waves and its 3D topographic effect using the spectral-element method
Lei Zhang, Han Yan, Jinhai Zhang +1
The Moon has been regarded as a natural Weber bar capable of amplifying gravitational waves (GWs) for detecting events across a wide range of frequencies. However, accurately deter…
Super amplification of lunar response to gravitational waves driven by thick crust
Lei Zhang, Jinhai Zhang, Han Yan +1
The Moon has been long regarded as a natural resonator of gravitational waves (GWs) since 1960, showing great potential to fill the frequency gap left behind GW detections by groun…
Probing intermediate-mass black hole binaries with the Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna
Hanlin Song, Han Yan, Yacheng Kang +3
New concepts for observing the gravitational waves (GWs) using a detector on the Moon, such as the Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna (LGWA), have gained increasing attention. By uti…
2D numerical simulation of lunar response to gravitational waves using finite element method
Lei Zhang, Han Yan, Xian Chen +1
Previous studies of the response of the Moon to gravitational waves have been carried out using analytical or semi-analytical models assuming ideal lunar structures. Such models ar…
