Gravitational Wave Bursts from the Galactic Massive Black Hole
The Galactic massive black hole (MBH), with a mass of M• = 3.6 × 106M⊙, is the closest known MBH, at a distance of only 8 kpc. The proximity of this MBH makes it possible to observe gravitational waves from stars with periapse in the observational frequency window of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA ). This is possible even if the orbit of the star is very eccentric, so that the orb...
متن کاملThe stochastic gravitational-wave background from massive black hole binary systems: implications for observations with Pulsar Timing Arrays
Massive black hole binary systems, with masses in the range ∼ 10 − 10 M⊙, are among the primary sources of gravitational waves in the frequency window ∼ 10 Hz−0.1Hz. Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) are the observational means by which we will be able to observe gravitational radiation from these systems. We carry out a systematic study of the genera...
متن کاملThe Effect of Orbital Eccentricity on Gravitational Wave Background Radiation from Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
A compact binary on an eccentric orbit radiates gravitational waves (GWs) at all integer harmonics of its orbital frequency. In this study, we investigate the effect of orbital eccentricity on expected gravitational background radiation (GWBR) from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in galaxy nuclei. For this purpose, we formulate the power spectrum of GWBR from cosmological evolving eccen...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation from Mergers of Black Hole–neutron Star Binaries
Angular momentum loss via the emission of gravitational waves must eventually drive compact binaries containing black holes and/or neutron stars to coalesce. The resulting events are primary candidate sources for detectors such as VIRGO and LIGO. We present calculations of gravitational radiation waveforms and luminosities for the coalescence of a black hole-neutron star binary, performed in th...
