Upper Limits on a Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has performed a third science run with much improved sensitivities of all three interferometers. We present an analys…

Upper Limit Set by Causality on the Rotation and Mass of Uniformly Rotating Relativistic Stars

Scott Koranda, Nikolaos Stergioulas, John L. Friedman

Causality alone suffices to set a lower bound on the period of rotation of relativistic stars as a function of their maximum observed mass. That is, by assuming a one-parameter equ…

CBR Anisotropy from Primordial Gravitational Waves in Two-Component Inflationary Cosmology

Scott Koranda, Bruce Allen

We examine stochastic temperature fluctuations of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) arising via the Sachs-Wolfe effect from gravitational wave perturbations produced in the ear…

CBR Temperature Fluctuations Induced by Gravitational Waves in a Spatially-Closed Inflationary Universe

Bruce Allen, Robert Caldwell, Scott Koranda

Primordial gravitational waves are created during the de Sitter phase of an exponentially-expanding (inflationary) universe, due to quantum zero-point vacuum fluctuations. These wa…
