Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Binaries

Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Binaries by Stanislav Babak
English | PDF(True) | 2020 | 117 Pages | ISBN : 1681737027 | 5.4 MB

This book is to help post-graduate students to get into gravitational wave astronomy. We assume the knowledge of General Relativity theory, though we will concentrate on the physics and often omit mathematically strict derivations. We provide references to already existing literature where possible, this helps us to see a broad picture, skipping the details. The uniqueness of this book is in that it covers three frequency bands and three major world-wide efforts to detect gravitational waves.

Broadband Measurement and Reduction of Quantum Radiation Pressure Noise in the Audio Band by Jonathan Cripe
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 153 Pages | ISBN : 3030450309 | 43.5 MB

This book presents a direct measurement of quantum back action, or radiation pressure noise, on a macroscopic object at room temperature across a broad bandwidth in the audio range. This noise source was predicted to be a limitation for gravitational wave interferometers in the 1980s, but it has evaded direct characterization in the gravitational wave community due to the inherent difficult of reducing thermal fluctuations below the quantum back action level.
