Caustics of weak shock waves
The caustics of weak shock waves are studied through matched asymptotic expansions. It is shown that these caustics are thinner and more intense than those of smooth waves with a comparable amplitude. This difference in scalings solves a paradox that would have the caustics of weak shock waves behave linearly, even though linear theory for discontinuous fronts predicts infinite amplitudes near ...
متن کاملGravitational Microlensing Near Caustics I: Folds
We study the local behavior of gravitational lensing near fold catastrophes. Using a generic form for the lensing map near a fold, we determine the observable properties of the lensed images, focusing on the case when the individual images are unresolved, i.e., microlensing. Allowing for images not associated with the fold, we derive analytic expressions for the photometric and astrometric beha...
متن کاملGravitational Microlensing Near Caustics II: Cusps
We present a rigorous, detailed study of the generic, quantitative properties of gravitational lensing near cusp catastrophes. Concentrating on the case when the individual images are unresolved, we derive explicit formulas for the total magnification and centroid of the images created for sources outside, on, and inside the cusped caustic. We obtain new results on how the image magnifications ...
متن کاملHigh frequency sources of gravitational waves
Sources of high frequency gravitational waves are reviewed. Gravitational collapse, rotational instabilities and oscillations of the remnant compact objects are potentially important sources of gravitational waves. Significant and unique information for the various stages of the collapse, the evolution of protoneutron stars and the details of the equations of state of such objects can be drawn ...
متن کاملSuperheterodyne Detection of High Frequency Acoustic Waves
A laser ultrasonic system that allows for the excitation and detection of high frequency (GHz range) acoustic waves using low frequency, low cost detection electronics is presented. A continuous wave diode laser source, operating at a wavelength of 1544nm, is amplitude modulated using an integrated electro-absorption modulator and used to excite high frequency, narrow bandwidth acoustic waves. ...
