The Swan Song of a Neutron Star Binary Fundamental physics and astrophysics with gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence
Gravitational waves are surviving witnesses of the most violent events in the history of the Universe. By detecting signals from coalescing black hole and neutron star binaries we can obtain invaluable information on the properties of gravity and matter in the most extreme conditions: where matter is more dense than an atomic nucleus, spacetime is strongly curved, and its geometry evolves dynam...
متن کاملModeling the dynamics of tidally-interacting binary neutron stars up to merger
The data analysis of the gravitational wave signals emitted by coalescing neutron star binaries requires the availability of an accurate analytical representation of the dynamics and waveforms of these systems. We propose an effective-one-body (EOB) model that describes the general relativistic dynamics of neutron star binaries from the early inspiral up to merger. Our EOB model incorporates an...
متن کاملGravitational-Wave Tests of General Relativity with Ground-Based Detectors and Pulsar-Timing Arrays
This review is focused on tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity with gravitational waves that are detectable by ground-based interferometers and pulsar-timing experiments. Einstein's theory has been greatly constrained in the quasi-linear, quasi-stationary regime, where gravity is weak and velocities are small. Gravitational waves will allow us to probe a complimentary, yet previousl...
