Gravitational Wave Astronomy

:The recent discoveries at LIGO/Virgo and pulsar timing arrays have opened a new window to study our universe: gravitational wave astronomy. These observations have shed new light on our understanding of black holes and neutron stars, teaching us about ...

The Pointing Error Due To Laser Propagation in Space Plasma for TianQin Gravitational Wave Detection

Space Weather
TianQin, a space‐borne gravitational wave observatory, is designed to detect gravitational‐wave signals via laser interferometry. As the inhomogeneous space plasma surrounds the inter‐satellite laser links, the propagation of the laser in space plasma ...

LIGO, gravitational waves and the new astronomy (Free Astronomy Public Lectures)

, 2016
On September 14, 2015, gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes rippled through the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO).

Inferring Jet Physics from Neutron Star–Black Hole Mergers with Gravitational Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
Neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers that undergo tidal disruption may launch jets that could power a gamma-ray burst (GRB). We use a population of simulated NSBH systems to measure jet parameters from the gravitational waves emitted by these systems ...

Source modelling at the dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy

, 2016
The age of gravitational-wave astronomy has begun. Gravitational waves are propagating spacetime perturbations ($\textit{“ripples in the fabric of space-time”}$) predicted by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity.

REAL-TIME GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE BURST SEARCH FOR MULTI-MESSENGER ASTRONOMY

, 2011
Existing observations of the universe mostly come from electromagnetic (EM) waves, representing so-called multi-wavelength astronomy. In order to enable multi-messenger astronomy, direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) has to be processed in ...

Global Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Global Gravitational Wave Astronomy. To listen to the universe with gravitational waves needs a global array of gravitational wave observatories, and one of these must be in the southern hemisphere - in Australia.

Gravitational wave astronomy— astronomy of the 21^st century [PDF]

, 2011
An enigmatic prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity is gravitational waves. With the observed decay in the orbit of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar agreeing within a fraction of a percent with the theoretically computed decay from Einstein's theory, the existence of gravitational waves was firmly established.
