Bumpy Black Holes in Alternate Theories of Gravity
Sarah Vigeland, Nicolás Yunes, Leo Stein
We generalize the bumpy black hole framework to allow for alternative theory deformations. We construct two model-independent parametric deviations from the Kerr metric: one built…
Effective Gravitational Wave Stress-energy Tensor in Alternative Theories of Gravity
Leo C. Stein, Nicolas Yunes
The inspiral of binary systems in vacuum is controlled by the stress-energy of gravitational radiation and any other propagating degrees of freedom. For gravitational waves, the do…
Non-Spinning Black Holes in Alternative Theories of Gravity
Nicolas Yunes, Leo C. Stein
We study two large classes of alternative theories, modifying the action through algebraic, quadratic curvature invariants coupled to scalar fields. We find one class that admits s…
Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2
We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…
Coherent network analysis technique for discriminating gravitational-wave bursts from instrumental noise
Shourov Chatterji, Albert Lazzarini, Leo Stein +3
Existing coherent network analysis techniques for detecting gravitational-wave bursts simultaneously test data from multiple observatories for consistency with the expected propert…
