Gravitational waves from merging compact binaries
Largely motivated by the development of highly sensitive gravitational-wave detectors, our understanding of merging compact binaries and the gravitational waves they generate has improved dramatically in recent years. Breakthroughs in numerical relativity now allow us to model the coalescence of two black holes with no approximations or simplifications. There has also been outstanding progress ...
متن کاملThe Gravitational Wave Background from Cosmological Compact Binaries
We use a population synthesis approach to characterise, as a function of cosmic time, the extragalactic close binary population descended from stars of low to intermediate initial mass. The unresolved gravitational wave (GW) background due to these systems is calculated for the 0.1–10 mHz frequency band of the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). This background is found to be dom...
متن کاملSqueezed-field injection for gravitational wave interferometers
In a recent table-top experiment we demonstrated the compatibility of three advanced interferometer techniques for gravitational wave detection, namely power-recycling , detuned signal-recycling and squeezed field injection. The interferometer’s signal to noise ratio was improved by up to 2.8 dB beyond the coherent state’s shot-noise. This value was mainly limited by optical losses on the squee...
متن کاملSensitivity Curves for Spaceborne Gravitational Wave Interferometers
To determine whether particular sources of gravitational radiation will be detectable by a specific gravitational wave detector, it is necessary to know the sensitivity limits of the instrument. These instrumental sensitivities are often depicted ~after averaging over source position and polarization! by graphing the minimal values of the gravitational wave amplitude detectable by the instrumen...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing of Gravitational Waves from Merging Neutron Star Binaries.
We discuss the gravitational lensing of gravitational waves from merging neutron star binaries, in the context of advanced LIGO type gravitational wave detectors. We consider properties of the expected observational data with cut on the signal-to-noise ratio ρ, i.e., ρ > ρ0. An advanced LIGO should see unlensed inspiral events with a redshift distribution with cut-off at a redshift zmax < 1 for...
