Quantum metrology for gravitational wave astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2010
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that accelerating mass distributions produce gravitational radiation, analogous to electromagnetic radiation from accelerating charges. These gravitational waves (GWs) have not been directly detected to date, but are expected to open a new window to the Universe once the detectors, kilometre-scale laser ...

First Low-Latency LIGO+Virgo Search for Binary Inspirals and their Electromagnetic Counterparts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aims. The detection and measurement of gravitational-waves from coalescing neutron-star binary systems is an important science goal for ground-based gravitational-wave detectors.

Triangulation of gravitational wave sources with a network of detectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
There is significant benefit to be gained by pursuing multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations. In order to undertake electromagnetic follow-ups of gravitational wave signals, it will be necessary to accurately ...

Introduction to Gravitational Wave Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
This chapter provides an overview of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, providing background material that underpins the other, more specialized chapters in this handbook. It starts with a brief historical review of the development of GW astronomy, from Einstein's prediction of GWs in 1916 to the first direct detection in 2015.

Attitude-Orbit Coupled Control of Gravitational Wave Detection Spacecraft with Communication Delays

open access: yesSensors, 2023
In order to meet the position and attitude requirements of spacecrafts and test masses for gravitational-wave detection missions, the attitude-orbit coordination control of multiple spacecrafts and test masses is studied.

Compact Binary Coalescences in the Band of Ground-based Gravitational-Wave Detectors

open access: yes, 2010
As the ground-based gravitational-wave telescopes LIGO, Virgo, and GEO 600 approach the era of first detections, we review the current knowledge of the coalescence rates and the mass and spin distributions of merging neutron-star and black-hole binaries.

Gravitational wave astronomy with TianQin

open access: yesReports on Progress in Physics
Abstract The opening of the gravitational wave window has significantly enhanced our capacity to explore the Universe’s most extreme and dynamic sector. In the mHz frequency range, a diverse range of compact objects, from the most massive black holes at the farthest reaches of the Universe to the lightest white dwarfs in our cosmic ...

Surrogate Forward Models for Population Inference on Compact Binary Mergers

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Rapidly growing catalogs of compact binary mergers from advanced gravitational wave detectors allow us to explore the astrophysics of massive stellar binaries.

The damping of gravitational waves in dust

open access: yes, 2008
We examine a simple model of interaction of gravitational waves with matter (primarily represented by dust). The aim is to investigate a possible damping effect on the intensity of gravitational wave when passing through media.
