Gravitational wave astronomy [PDF]

Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1999
The first decade of the new millenium should see the first direct detections of gravitational waves. This will be a milestone for fundamental physics and it will open the new observational science of gravitational wave astronomy.

Gravitational Waves and Time Domain Astronomy [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011
The gravitational wave window onto the universe will open in roughly five years, when Advanced LIGO and Virgo achieve the first detections of high frequency gravitational waves, most likely coming from compact binary mergers. Electromagnetic follow-up of

Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

Living Reviews in Relativity, 2016
We present a possible observing scenario for the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger ...

GRAVITATIONAL WAVE ASTRONOMY [PDF]

Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 2004
▪ Abstract  The existence of gravitational radiation is a direct prediction of Einstein's theory of general relativity, published in 1916. The observation of gravitational radiation will open a new astronomical window on the universe, allowing the study of dynamic strong-field gravity, as well as many other astrophysical objects and processes ...

No tension between assembly models of super massive black hole binaries and pulsar observations

Nature Communications, 2018
Pulsar timing arrays enable the search for the isotropic gravitational-wave (GW) background originating from super massive black hole binary populations, but impose a stringent upper limit on the GW characteristic amplitude.

Testing strong gravity with gravitational waves and Love numbers [PDF]

, 2017
The LIGO observation of GW150914 has inaugurated the gravitational-wave astronomy era and the possibility of testing gravity in extreme regimes. While distorted black holes are the most convincing sources of gravitational waves, similar signals might be ...

Swift/UVOT: 18 Years of Long GRB Discoveries and Advances

Universe, 2023
The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift) has been in operation for 18 years. The Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) onboard Swift was designed to capture the earliest optical/UV emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), spanning the first few minutes ...

3D characterization of low optical absorption structures in large crystalline sapphire substrates for gravitational wave detectors

Scientific Reports, 2021
Very high-quality sapphire substrates are key elements of the cryogenic Japanese gravitational interferometer KAGRA, in which they are used to build the main mirrors, working as the test masses to sense the gravitational waves.

LISA Sources in Globular Clusters [PDF]

, 2000
Globular clusters house a population of compact binaries that will be interesting gravitational wave sources for LISA. We provide estimates for the numbers of sources of several categories and discuss the sensitivity of LISA to detecting these sources ...
