Bounding the mass of the graviton with gravitational waves: Effect of higher harmonics in gravitational waveform templates
Observations by laser interferometric detectors of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binary systems can be used to search for a dependence of the waves’ propagation speed on wavelength, and thereby to bound the mass or Compton wavelength of a putative graviton. We study the effect of including higher harmonics, as well as their post-Newtonian amplitude corrections, in the template gr...
متن کاملComparison of high-accuracy numerical simulations of black-hole binaries with stationary phase post-Newtonian template waveforms for Initial and Advanced LIGO
We study the effectiveness of stationary-phase approximated post-Newtonian waveforms currently used by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors to search for the coalescence of binary black holes by comparing them to an accurate waveform obtained from numerical simulation of an equal-mass nonspinning binary black hole inspiral, merger and ringdown. We perform this study for the Initialand Adva...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian approximations
After a very basic introduction about the geometric view of gravitation, we deal with Newtonian and post-Newtonian approximations giving an overview of the parametrized post-Newtonian formalism. In the final part, we focus on the classical experimental tests. This is a bibliographic work in which an effort has been made to explore the historical timeline and motivation, managing the original re...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian Theory and Dimensional Regularization
Inspiralling compact binaries are ideally suited for application of a high-order post-Newtonian (PN) gravitational wave generation formalism. To be observed by the LIGO and VIRGO detectors, these very relativistic systems (with orbital velocities v ∼ 0.5c in the last rotations) require high-accuracy templates predicted by general relativity theory. Recent calculations of the motion and gravitat...
متن کاملGravitational waves from merging compact binaries: How accurately can one extract the binary's parameters from the inspiral waveform?
The most promising source of gravitational waves for the planned kilometer-size laser-interferometer detectors LIGO and VIRGO are merging compact binaries, i.e., neutron star/neutron star (NS/NS), neutron star/black hole (NS/BH), and black hole/black-hole (BH/BH) binaries. We investigate how accurately the distance to the source and the masses and spins of the two bodies will be measured from t...
