Gravitational Radiation, Inspiraling Binaries, and Cosmology
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We show how to measure cosmological parameters using observations of inspiraling binary neutron star or black hole systems in one or more gravitational wave detectors. To illustrate, we focus on the case of fixed mass binary systems observed in a single Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO)-like detector. Using realistic detector noise est...
متن کاملImproved filters for gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries
The order of the post-Newtonian expansion needed to extract in a reliable and accurate manner the fully general relativistic gravitational wave signal from inspiraling compact binaries is explored. A class of approximate wave forms, called P-approximants, is constructed based on the following two inputs: ~a! the introduction of two new energy-type and flux-type functions e(v) and f (v), respect...
متن کاملGravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries: The quadrupole-moment term
A rotating star’s oblateness creates a deformation in the gravitational field outside the star, which is measured by the quadrupole-moment tensor. We consider the effect of the quadrupole moment on the orbital motion and rate of inspiral of a compact binary system, composed of neutron stars and/or black holes. We find that in the case of circular orbits, the quadrupole-monopole interaction affe...
متن کاملBinary inspiral, gravitational radiation, and cosmology.
Observations of binary inspiral in a single interferometric gravitational wave detector can be cataloged according to signal-to-noise ratio ρ and chirp mass M. The distribution of events in a catalog composed of observations with ρ greater than a threshold ρ0 depends on the Hubble expansion, deceleration parameter, and cosmological constant, as well as the distribution of component masses in bi...
متن کاملCompact Binaries as Sources of Gravitational Radiation
With current terrestrial gravitational wave detectors working at initial design sensitivities, and upgrades and space missions planned, it is likely that in the next five to ten years gravitational radiation will be detected directly from a variety of classes of objects. The most confidently expected of these classes is compact binaries, involving neutron stars or black holes. Detection of thei...
