Practical speed meter designs for QND gravitational-wave interferometers
Patricia Purdue, Yanbei Chen
In the quest to develop viable designs for third-generation optical interferometric gravitational-wave detectors (e.g., LIGO-III and EURO), one strategy is to monitor the relative…

The gauge invariance of general relativistic tidal heating
Patricia Purdue
When a self-gravitating body (e.g., a neutron star or black hole) interacts with an external tidal field (e.g., that of a binary companion), the interaction can do work on the body…
