European Pulsar Timing Array Limits on Continuous Gravitational Waves from Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Stanislav Babak, Antoine Petiteau, Alberto Sesana +33

We have searched for continuous gravitational wave (CGW) signals produced by individually resolvable, circular supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) in the latest EPTA dataset,…

European Pulsar Timing Array Limits On An Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

Lindley Lentati, Stephen R. Taylor, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli +33

We present new limits on an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using a six pulsar dataset spanning 18 yr of observations from the 2015 European Pulsar Timing…

Relativistic mergers of compact binaries in clusters: The fingerprint of the spin

Patrick Brem, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Rainer Spurzem

Dense stellar systems such as globular clusters and dense nuclear clusters are the breeding ground of sources of gravitational waves for the advanced detectors LIGO and Virgo. Thes…

Tidal disruptions in circumbinary discs (I): Star formation, dynamics, and binary evolution

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Patrick Brem, Jorge Cuadra

In our current interpretation of the hierarchical structure of the universe it is well established that galaxies collide and merge with each other during their lifetime. If massive…

Blocking low-eccentricity EMRIs: A statistical direct-summation N-body study of the Schwarzschild barrier

Patrick Brem, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Carlos F. Sopuerta

The capture of a compact object in a galactic nucleus by a massive black hole (MBH), an extreme-mass ratio inspiral (EMRI), is the best way to map space and time around it. Recent…

Fake plunges are very eccentric real EMRIs in disguise ... they dominate the rates and are blissfully ignorant of angular momentum barriers

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Carlos Sopuerta, Patrick Brem

The capture of a compact object in a galactic nucleus by a massive black hole (MBH) is the best way to map space and time around it. Compact objects such as stellar black holes on…

The butterfly effect in the extreme-mass ratio inspiral problem

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Patrick Brem, Jorge Cuadra +1

Measurements of gravitational waves from the inspiral of a stellar-mass compact object into a massive black hole are unique probes to test General Relativity (GR) and MBH propertie…
