Gravitational perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime: A practical covariant and gauge-invariant formalism
Karl Martel, Eric Poisson
We present a formalism to study the metric perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime. The formalism is gauge invariant, and it is also covariant under two-dimensional coordinate…
Gravitational waveforms from a point particle orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole
Karl Martel
We numerically solve the inhomogeneous Zerilli-Moncrief and Regge-Wheeler equations in the time domain. We obtain the gravitational waveforms produced by a point-particle of mass $…
A One-Parameter Family of Time-Symmetric Initial Data for the Radial Infall of a Particle into a Schwarzschild Black Hole
Karl Martel, Eric Poisson
A one-parameter family of time-symmetric initial data for the radial infall of a particle into a Schwarzschild black hole is constructed within the framework of black-hole perturba…
Regular coordinate systems for Schwarzschild and other spherical spacetimes
Karl Martel, Eric Poisson
The continuation of the Schwarzschild metric across the event horizon is almost always (in textbooks) carried out using the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates, in terms of which the area…
Gravitational waves from eccentric compact binaries: Reduction in signal-to-noise ratio due to nonoptimal signal processing
Karl Martel, Eric Poisson
Inspiraling compact binaries have been identified as one of the most promising sources of gravitational waves for interferometric detectors. Most of these binaries are expected to…
Detection of Gravitational Waves from Eccentric Compact Binaries
Karl Martel
Coalescing compact binaries have been pointed out as the most promising source of gravitational waves for kilometer-size interferometers such as LIGO. Gravitational wave signals ar…
