Ultra-high precision cosmology from gravitational waves
We show that the Big Bang Observer (BBO), a proposed space-based gravitational-wave (GW) detector, would provide ultra-precise measurements of cosmological parameters. By detecting ∼ 3 × 10 compact-star binaries, and utilizing them as standard sirens, BBO would determine the Hubble constant to ∼ 0.1%, and the dark energy parameters w0 and wa to ∼ 0.01 and ∼ 0.1, respectively. BBO’s dark-energy ...
متن کاملThermal Tides in Short Period Exoplanets
Time-dependent insolation in a planetary atmosphere induces a mass quadrupole upon which the stellar tidal acceleration can exert a force. This “thermal tide” force can give rise to secular torques on the planet and orbit as well as radial forces causing eccentricity evolution. We apply this idea to the close-in gas giant exoplanets (“hot Jupiters”). The response of radiative atmospheres is com...
متن کاملLong period exoplanets from dynamical relaxation
Recent imaging campaigns indicate the likely existence of massive planets (∼ 1− 10 MJ ) on ∼> 1000 year orbits about a few percent of stars. Such objects are not easily explained in most current planet formation models. In this Letter we use ensembles of 100 N-body simulations to evaluate the potential for planet scattering during relaxation of dynamically active systems to explain the populati...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Gravitational Collapse
Gravitational wave emission from stellar collapse has been studied for more than three decades. Current state-of-the-art numerical investigations of collapse include those that use progenitors with more realistic angular momentum profiles, properly treat microphysics issues, account for general relativity, and examine non-axisymmetric effects in three dimensions. Such simulations predict that g...
متن کاملLong Period Exoplanets
Recent imaging campaigns indicate the possible existence of massive planets on ∼> 1000 year orbits about a few percent of normal stars. Such objects are not easily explained in most current planet formation models. In this Letter we use a large ensemble of N-body simulations to evaluate the potential for planet scattering during relaxation of dynamically active systems to explain very long peri...
