Searches for continuous-wave gravitational radiation

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2023
Now that detection of gravitational-wave signals from the coalescence of extra-galactic compact binary star mergers has become nearly routine, it is intriguing to consider other potential gravitational-wave signatures.

Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology with Gravitational Waves

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2009
Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014.

Sources of Gravitational Waves [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 2006
Sources of low frequency gravitational radiation are reviewed from an astrophysical point of view. Cosmological sources include the formation of massive black holes in galactic nuclei, the capture by such holes of neutron stars, the coalescence of orbiting pairs of giant black holes, and various means of producing a stochastic background of ...

Cylindrical Gravitational Wave: Source and Resonance [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2021
Gravitational waves are regarded as linear waves in the weak field approximation, which ignores the spacetime singularity. In this paper, we analyze singularities in exact gravitational wave solutions. We provide an exact general solution of the gravitational wave with cylindrical symmetry.

AN OVERVIEW OF GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE SOURCES [PDF]

open access: yesGeneral Relativity and Gravitation, 2002
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 describe the information carried by the waves.

Dropping Anchor: Understanding the Populations of Binary Black Holes with Random and Aligned-spin Orientations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The relative spin orientations of black holes (BHs) in binaries encode their evolutionary history: BHs assembled dynamically should have isotropically distributed spins, while spins of BHs originating in the field should be aligned with the orbital ...

Waltzing Binaries: Probing the Line-of-sight Acceleration of Merging Compact Objects with Gravitational Waves

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The line-of-sight acceleration of a compact binary coalescence (CBC) event would modulate the shape of the gravitational waves (GWs) it produces with respect to the corresponding nonaccelerated CBC.

Taiji program: Gravitational-wave sources [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics A, 2020
We review potential low-frequency gravitational-wave sources, which are expected to be detected by Taiji, a Chinese space-based gravitational-wave detector, estimate the detection rates of these gravitational-wave sources and present the parameter estimation of massive black hole binaries.

Gravitational wave sources and their detectability [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and Quantum Gravity, 1989
Reviews sources of gravitational radiation that are likely to be detected by gravitational wave detectors now under development. The author first develops back-of-the-envelope formulae that are useful for estimating the strength of gravitational waves and their detectability, i.e.

Binary Systems As Gravitational Wave Sources [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011
AbstractBinary systems with compact components and some newly discovered systems with relatively short orbital periods are studied as gravitational-wave sources. The gravitational wave amplitudes of these systems have been compared with the limit of gravitational wave interferometers (e.g. LISA, LIGO, and VIRGO).
