Comparing Effective-One-Body gravitational waveforms to accurate numerical data
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar
We continue the program of constructing, within the Effective-One-Body (EOB) approach, high accuracy, faithful analytic waveforms describing the gravitational wave signal emitted b…
Constraints on the variability of quark masses from nuclear binding
Thibault Damour, John F. Donoghue
Based on recent work on nuclear binding, we update and extend the anthropic constraints on the light quark masses, with results that are more tightly constrained than previously ob…
Faithful Effective-One-Body waveforms of equal-mass coalescing black-hole binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Ernst Nils Dorband +2
We continue the program of constructing, within the Effective-One-Body (EOB) approach, high-accuracy analytic waveforms describing the signal emitted by inspiralling and coalescing…
Hamiltonian of two spinning compact bodies with next-to-leading order gravitational spin-orbit coupling
Thibault Damour, Piotr Jaranowski, Gerhard Schäfer
A Hamiltonian formulation is given for the gravitational dynamics of two spinning compact bodies to next-to-leading order ( and ) in the spin-orbit interaction. We…
Describing general cosmological singularities in Iwasawa variables
Thibault Damour, Sophie de Buyl
Belinskii, Khalatnikov, and Lifshitz (BKL) conjectured that the description of the asymptotic behavior of a generic solution of Einstein equations near a spacelike singularity coul…
Constraints and the E10 Coset Model
Thibault Damour, Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai
We continue the study of the one-dimensional E10 coset model (massless spinning particle motion on E10/K(E10) whose dynamics at low levels is known to coincide with the equations o…
