A first comparison of search methods for gravitational wave bursts using LIGO and Virgo simulated data
L. Blackburn, F. Beauville, M. -A. Bizouard +20
We present a comparative study of 6 search methods for gravitational wave bursts using simulated LIGO and Virgo noise data. The data's spectra were chosen to follow the design sens…
Critical phenomena in gravitational collapse
Patrick R Brady, Mike J Cai
This article reviews classical and quantum aspects of critical phenomena in gravitational collapse. We pay special attention to the origin of the scaling law for black hole mass, a…
Some Cosmological Tails of Collapse
Chris M. Chambers, Patrick R. Brady, William Krivan +1
We summarize the results of an investigation into the late time behavior of massless scalar fields propagating on spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes with a non-zero cosmol…
A Critical Look At Massive Scalar Field Collapse
Chris M. Chambers, Patrick R. Brady, Sergio M. C. V. Goncalves
We present the findings of an investigation of critical behavior in the collapse of spherically symmetric distributions of massive scalar field. Two distinct types of phase transit…
