Modelling Gravitational Waves from Inspiralling Compact Binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
Gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries can be reliably extracted from a noisy detector output only if the template used in the detection is a faithful representation of the true signal. In this article we suggest a new approach to constructing faithful signal models.

A template bank to search for gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries
Matched filtering is used to search for gravitational waves emitted by inspiralling compact binaries in data from ground-based interferometers. One of the key aspects of the detection process is the deployment of a set of templates, also called a template bank, to cover the astrophysically interesting region of the parameter space. In a companion paper, we described the template bank algorithm ...
متن کاملGravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries with magnetic dipole moments
We investigate the effects of the magnetic dipole-dipole coupling and the electromagnetic radiation on the frequency evolution of gravitational waves from inspiralling binary neutron stars with magnetic dipole moments. This study is motivated by the discovery of the superstrongly magnetized neutron stars, i.e., magnetar. We derive the contributions of the magnetic fields to the accumulated cycl...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian corrections to the gravitational-wave memory for quasicircular, inspiralling compact binaries
The Christodoulou memory is a nonlinear contribution to the gravitational-wave field that is sourced by the gravitational-wave stress-energy tensor. For quasicircular, inspiralling binaries, the Christodoulou memory produces a growing, nonoscillatory change in the gravitational-wave ‘‘plus’’ polarization, resulting in the permanent displacement of a pair of freely-falling test masses after the ...
متن کاملA method for the detection of gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries using a fast chirp transform
The Fast Chirp Transform (FCT) provides a powerful formalism for the detection of signals with variable frequency, in much the same way that the Fourier transform provides a formalism for the detection of constant frequency signals. The FCT algorithm has significant applications in the detection of gravitational waves, particularly the gravitational wave signal produced by an inspiralling compa...
متن کاملBounding the mass of the graviton using gravitational-wave observations of inspiralling compact binaries
If gravitation is propagated by a massive field, then the velocity of gravitational waves (gravitons) will depend upon their frequency as (vg/c) 2 = 1− (c/fλg), and the effective Newtonian potential will have a Yukawa form ∝ r exp(−r/λg), where λg = h/mgc is the graviton Compton wavelength. In the case of inspiralling compact binaries, gravitational waves emitted at low frequency early in the i...
