The Geometry of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
Michael Betancourt, Leo C. Stein
With its systematic exploration of probability distributions, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo is a potent Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique; it is an approach, however, ultimately conting…
Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…
Post-Newtonian, Quasi-Circular Binary Inspirals in Quadratic Modified Gravity
Kent Yagi, Leo C. Stein, Nicolas Yunes +1
We consider a general class of quantum gravity-inspired, modified gravity theories, where the Einstein-Hilbert action is extended through the addition of all terms quadratic in the…
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…
