A Novel Method to Construct Frequency-Domain Gravitational Waveform for Accelerating Sources

Xinmiao Zhao, Han Yan, Xian Chen

Accurately modeling the inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) signal of coalescing compact objects is essential for the test of general relativity. However, it is known that astrophysical…

Thick Lunar Crust Amplifies Deci-Hertz Gravitational-Wave Signal

Lei Zhang, Han Yan, Xian Chen +1

Gravitational waves (GWs) in the Hz band encode unique signatures of the early universe and merging compact objects, but they are beyond the reach of existing observato…

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…

Constraining the stochastic gravitational wave background using the future lunar seismometers

Han Yan, Xian Chen, Jinhai Zhang +3

Motivated by the old idea of using the moon as a resonant gravitational-wave (GW) detector, as well as the recent updates in modeling the lunar response to GWs, we re-evaluate the…

Calculating the Gravitational Waves Emitted from High-speed Sources

Han Yan, Xian Chen, Alejandro Torres-Orjuela

The possibility of forming gravitational-wave sources with high center-of-mass (c.m.) velocities in the vicinity of supermassive black holes requires us to develop a method of deri…
