Searches for Gravitational Waves from Binary Neutron Stars: A Review

A new generation of observatories is looking for gravitational waves. These waves, emitted by highly relativistic systems, will open a new window for observation of the cosmos when they are detected. Among the most promising sources of gravitational waves for these observatories are compact binaries in the final minutes before coalescence. In this article, we review in brief interferometric sea...

Gravitational Waves from Supermassive Black Hole Coalescence in a Hierarchical Galaxy Formation Model

We investigate the expected gravitational wave emission from coalescing supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries resulting from mergers of their host galaxies. When galaxies merge, the SMBHs in the host galaxies sink to the center of the new merged galaxy and form a binary system. We employ a semi-analytic model of galaxy and quasar formation based on the hierarchical clustering scenario to esti...

Reconstruction of chirp mass in searches for gravitational wave transients

The excess energy method is used in searches for gravitational waves (GWs) produced by sources with poorly modeled characteristics. It identifies GW events by searching for coincident excess energy in a GW detector network. While it is sensitive to a wide range of signal morphologies, the energy outliers can be populated by background noise events (background), thereby reducing the statistical ...

Massive Black Hole Binary Evolution

Coalescence of binary supermassive black holes (SBHs) would constitute the strongest sources of gravitational waves to be observed by LISA. While the formation of binary SBHs during galaxy mergers is almost inevitable, coalescence requires that the separation between binary components first drop by a few orders of magnitude, due presumably to interactions of the binary with stars and gas in a g...

Binary black hole merger gravitational waves and recoil in the large mass ratio limit

Spectacular breakthroughs in numerical relativity now make it possible to compute spacetime dynamics in almost complete generality, allowing us to model the coalescence and merger of binary black holes with essentially no approximations. The primary limitation of these calculations is now computational. In particular, it is difficult to model systems with large mass ratio and large spins, since...

The Science and Detection of Gravitational Waves

Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves as a consequence of the general theory of relativity. In his theory, changes in the shape of concentrations of mass (or energy) warp spacetime, cause distortions that propagate through the Universe at the speed of light. However, no direct detection of such waves has yet been made. A new generation of detectors promises sensitivitie...
