Gravitational waves and cosmological braneworlds: a characteristic evolution scheme
Motivated by the problem of the evolution of bulk gravitational waves in Randall-Sundrum cosmology, we develop a characteristic numerical scheme to solve 1+1 dimensional wave equations in the presence of a moving timelike boundary. The scheme exhibits quadratic convergence, is capable of handling arbitrary brane trajectories, and is easily extendible to non-AdS bulk geometries. We use our metho...
متن کاملEvolution of gravitational waves through cosmological transitions
The spectrum of gravitational waves that have been produced in inflation is modified during cosmological transitions. Large drops in the number of relativistic particles, like in the QCD transition or at the ee-annihilation, lead to steps in the energy spectrum of gravitational waves.
متن کاملEvolution of gravitational waves through the cosmological QCD transition
The spectrum of gravitational waves that have been produced in inflation is modified during cosmological transitions. Large drops in the number of relativistic particles, like during the QCD transition or at ee annihilation, lead to steps in the spectrum of gravitational waves. We calculate the transfer function for the differential energy density of gravitational waves for a first-order and fo...
متن کاملCosmological Waveguides for Gravitational Waves
We study the linearized equations describing the propagation of gravitational waves through dust. In the leading order of the WKB approximation, dust behaves as a nondispersive, non-dissipative medium. Taking advantage of these features, we explore the possibility that a gravitational wave from a distant source gets trapped by the gravitational field of a long filament of galaxies of the kind s...
متن کاملGravitational waves from cosmological compact binaries
We consider gravitational waves emitted by various populations of compact binaries at cosmological distances. We use population synthesis models to characterize the properties of double neutron stars, double black holes and double white dwarf binaries as well as white dwarf-neutron star, white dwarf-black hole and black hole-neutron star systems. We use the observationally determined cosmic sta...
