Gravitational waves from galaxy cluster distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
Galaxy clusters are sources of gravitational radiation. The main aim of this paper is to give numerical estimates and theoretical description of the relevant features of the gravitational radiation coming from an appropriate spatial distributions of galaxy clusters. Since no analytical approaches are currently available to describe the strongly nonlinear regime, our numerical approach –combining numerical simulations with statistical arguments – seems to be an useful way of studying the main features of that radiation. Although far to be detectable with present technology, we advance some ideas about future observational strategies and its cosmological implications.

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT A rich galaxy cluster showing strong resemblance with the observed ones is simulated. Cold dark matter spectrum, Gaussian statistics, flat universe, and two components – baryonic gas plus dark matter particles – are considered. We have calculated the gravitational-wave output during the epoch of the fully nonlinear and nonsymmetric cluster evolution. The ampli...

متن کاملGeneralised Inflation with a Gravitational Wave Background
We propose a Λ-inflation model which explains a significant part of the COBE signal by primordial cosmic gravitational waves. The primordial density perturbations fulfill both the constraints of large-scale microwave background and galaxy cluster normalization. The model is tested against the galaxy cluster power spectrum and the high-multipole angular CMB anisotropy.
متن کاملLarge-scale structure with gravitational waves. I. Galaxy clustering
Observed angular positions and redshifts of large-scale structure tracers such as galaxies are affected by gravitational waves through volume distortion and magnification effects. Thus, a gravitational wave background can in principle be probed through clustering statistics of large-scale structures. We calculate the observed angular clustering of galaxies in the presence of a gravitational wav...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Stars Orbiting the Sagittarius a Black Hole
One of the main astrophysical processes leading to strong emission of gravitational waves to be detected by the future space-borne interferometer LISA is the capture of a compact star by a black hole with a mass of a few million solar masses in the center of a galaxy. In previous studies, main sequence stars were thought not to contribute because they suffer from early tidal disruption. Here we...
