The gravitational-wave memory effect
The nonlinear memory effect is a slowly growing, non-oscillatory contribution to the gravitational-wave amplitude. It originates from gravitational waves that are sourced by the previously emitted waves. In an ideal gravitationalwave interferometer a gravitational wave with memory causes a permanent displacement of the test masses that persists after the wave has passed. Surprisingly, the nonli...
متن کاملSearching for Gravitational-Wave Bursts with LIGO
We present recent results from searches by the LIGO Science Collaboration for bursts of gravitational-wave radiation, as well as the status of other ongoing searches. These include directed searches for bursts associated with observed sources (gamma-ray bursts, soft gamma repeaters) and untriggered searches for bursts from unknown sources. We also present the status of some newer investigations...
متن کاملAbout the Detection of Gravitational Wave Bursts
Supernovae have been historically the first envisaged sources of gravitational waves (GW). Although binary inspirals or even periodic GW emitters like pulsars seem to be nowadays more promising sources, impulsive sources of GW such as supernovae should also be considered in the data analysis design of interferometric detectors currently under construction (LIGO, VIRGO). Impulsive GW sources are...
متن کاملGravitational Wave Bursts from Cosmic Superstring Reconnections
We compute the gravitational waveform produced by cosmic superstring reconnections. This is done by first constructing the superstring reconnection trajectory, which closely resembles that of classical, instantaneous reconnection but with the singularities smoothed out due to the string path integral. We then evaluate the graviton vertex operator in this background to obtain the burst amplitude...
متن کاملGravitational wave bursts from cosmic superstrings with Y - junctions
Cosmic superstring loops generically contain strings of different tensions that meet at Y-junctions. These loops evolve non-periodically in time, and have cusps and kinks that interact with the junctions. We study the effect of junctions on the gravitational wave signal emanating from cosmic string cusps and kinks. We find that earlier results on the strength of individual bursts from cusps and...
