  1. 512. Gravitational Waves Probes of Extreme Gravity Physics
    Prof. Nicolas Yunes (Montana State University)

    Theoretical Physics / Physique théorique (DTP-DPT)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Einstein's theory has passed all tests to date in the quasi-stationary weak-field, where gravitational dynamics are weak and quadrupolar, while velocities are small relative to the speed of light. The highly non-linear and dynamical regime of the gravitational interaction, however, remains mostly unexplored. The imminent detection of gravitational waves will open a window into this regime that...

  2. 497. Searching for Nanohertz Gravitational Waves Using Pulsars
    Ingrid Stairs (UBC)

    Theoretical Physics / Physique théorique (DTP-DPT)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Millisecond radio pulsars (MSPs) exhibit tremendous rotational stability and therefore provide a means to detect gravitational waves passing near the Earth. Three collaborations are using the world's largest radio telescopes to observe arrays of MSPs with the goal of making such a detection. This talk will review the expected gravitational-wave sources, the methodology and the...

  3. 851. Searching for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences with Advanced LIGO
    Michael Landry (LIGO Hanford Observatory/Caltech)
    17/06/2015, 14:45
    Theoretical Physics / Physique théorique (DTP-DPT)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Gravitational waves are distortions in the metric of space-time, the detection of which would provide key information on strong gravity and the astrophysical systems that produce them: supernovae, spinning compact stars, and the coalescence of compact binary systems (CBCs). LIGO is a gravitational wave observatory composed to two 4km interferometric detectors separated by 3000km, in Hanford...
