The gravitational wave symphony of the Universe
The new millennium will see the upcoming of several ground-based interferometric gravitational wave antennas. Within the next decade a space-based antenna may also begin to observe the distant Universe. These gravitational wave detectors will together operate as a network taking data continuously for several years, watching the transient and continuous phenomena occurring in the deep cores of a...
متن کاملMeasuring the spin of black holes in binary systems using gravitational waves.
Compact binary coalescences are the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs) for ground-based detectors. Binary systems containing one or two spinning black holes are particularly interesting due to spin-orbit (and eventual spin-spin) interactions and the opportunity of measuring spins directly through GW observations. In this Letter, we analyze simulated signals emitted by spinning ...
متن کاملLow-frequency Sources of Gravitational Waves: a Tutorial *
Gravitational wave detectors in space, particularly the LISA project, can study a rich variety of astronomical systems whose gravitational radiation is not detectable from the ground, because it is emitted in the low-frequency gravitational wave band (0.1 mHz to 1 Hz) that is inaccessible to ground-based detectors. Sources include binary systems in our Galaxy and massive black holes in distant ...
متن کاملProbing seed black holes using future gravitational-wave detectors
Identifying the properties of the first generation of seeds of massive black holes is key to understanding the merger history and growth of galaxies. Mergers between ∼ 100M seed black holes generate gravitational waves in the 0.1–10Hz band that lies between the sensitivity bands of existing ground-based detectors and the planned space-based gravitational wave detector, the Laser Interferometer ...
متن کاملGravitational-wave Astronomy with Inspiral Signals of Spinning Compact-object Binaries
Inspiral signals from binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by a number of ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, GEO-600 and TAMA-300). Detection of such inspirals and ensuing mergers is expected to provide us with important physical information about the properties of the sources, bearing on outstanding issues...
