Early Direct Detection of Gravity Waves
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, the possibility has emerged of an early detection of astrophysical gravity waves. In certain astronomical configurations, and through a new light-deflection effect, gravity waves can cause apparent shifts in stellar angular positions as large as 10arcsec. In these same configurations, the magnitude of the gravity-wave-induced time-delay effect can exceed 10. Both these figures lie just at present-day theoretical limits of detectability. For instance, cases are described where the very faint neutron-star gravity waves could soon become detectable. The detection meant here involves direct observations of the very wave-forms.

Direct Detection of Gravity Waves through High-Precision Astrometry
It is generally accepted that a first ever direct detection of gravity waves would herald a new era in astronomy and in fundamental physics. Ever since the early sixties, increasingly larger human and material resources are being invested in the detection effort. Unfortunately, the gravity wave effects one has had to exploit so far are extraordinarily small and are usually very many orders of m...
متن کاملSolution of propagation of acoustic-gravity waves in the atmosphere using finite difference method of order two
Investigating waves propagation’s equation in the atmosphere is one of the important and widely used issues in various sciences, which has attracted many researchers. A type of propagating waves is an acoustic-gravity wave. These type of waves have a lot of stationarity properties and can be propagate to a high altitude in the atmosphere. The equation of acoustic-gravity wave propagation is a h...
متن کاملEstimating the Explosion Time of Core-collapse Supernovae from Their Optical Light Curves
Core-collapse supernovae are among the prime candidate sources of high energy neutrinos and gravity waves. The detection prospects for neutrinos and gravity waves can be greatly enhanced through cross-correlation with the well established optical photon signal. The significance of the correlation improves with the resolution on the supernova explosion time determined from the optical data. We p...
متن کاملProposed observations of gravity waves from the early Universe via “ Millikan oil drops ”
Pairs of Planck-mass drops of superfluid helium coated by electrons (i.e., “Millikan oil drops”), when levitated in a superconducting magnetic trap, can be efficient quantum transducers between electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational (GR) radiation. This leads to the possibility of a Hertz-like experiment, in which EM waves are converted at the source into GR waves, and then back-converted at th...
