Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
Reducing Thermoelastic Noise in Gravitational-Wave Interferometers by Flattening the Light Beams
Erika D'Ambrosio, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Sergey Strigin +2
In the baseline design for advanced LIGO interferometers, the most serious noise source is tiny, dynamically fluctuating bumps and valleys on the faces of the arm-cavity mirrors, c…
An Overview of Gravitational-Wave Sources
Curt Cutler, Kip S. Thorne
We review current best estimates of the strength and detectability of the gravitational waves from a variety of sources, for both ground-based and space-based detectors, and we des…
Numerical Relativity for Inspiraling Binaries in Co-Rotating Coordinates: Test Bed for Lapse and Shift Equations
Kip S. Thorne
Gravitational-wave data analysis requires a detailed understanding of the highly relativistic, late stages of inspiral of neutron-star and black-hole binaries. A promising method t…
Probing Black Holes and Relativistic Stars with Gravitational Waves
Kip S. Thorne
In the coming decade, gravitational waves will convert the study of general relativistic aspects of black holes and stars from a largely theoretical enterprise to a highly interact…
Gravitational Waves from Compact Bodies
Kip S. Thorne
A review is given of recent research on gravitational waves from compact bodies and its relevance to the LIGO/VIRGO international network of high-frequency (10 to 10,000 Hz) gravit…
