Einstein’s Theory of Gravitation
a necessary consequence of Special Relativity with its finite speed for information transfer
gravitational waves come from the acceleration of masses and propagate away from their sources as a space-time warpage at the speed of light

• Using Minkowski metric, the information about space-time curvature is contained in the metric as an added term, hmn. In the
weak field limit, the equation can be described with linear equations. If the choice of gauge is the transverse traceless gauge the formulation becomes a familiar wave equation

• The strain hmn takes the form of a plane
wave propagating at the speed of light (c).
• Since gravity is spin 2, the waves have two components, but rotated by 450 instead of 900 from each other.

Gravitational Waves in Space
LISA
Three spacecraft, each with a Y-shaped payload, form an equilateral triangle with sides 5 million km in length.

Interferometer Concept
Laser used to measure relative lengths of two orthogonal arms
As a wave passes, the arm lengths change in different ways….
…causing the interference pattern
to change at the photodiode
Arms in LIGO are 4km Measure difference in
length to one part in 1021 or 10-18 meters

What Limits LIGO Sensitivity? Seismic noise limits low
frequencies
Thermal Noise limits middle frequencies
Quantum nature of light (Shot Noise) limits high frequencies
Technical issues - alignment, electronics, acoustics, etc limit us before we reach these design goals

Astrophysical Sources
Compact binary inspiral: “chirps”» NS-NS waveforms are well described» BH-BH need better waveforms » search technique: matched templates
Supernovae / GRBs: “bursts” » burst signals in coincidence with signals in
electromagnetic radiation » prompt alarm (~ one hour) with neutrino detectors
Pulsars in our galaxy: “periodic”» search for observed neutron stars (frequency,
doppler shift)» all sky search (computing challenge)» r-modes
Cosmological Signals “stochastic background”

Two Search Methods
Frequency domain
• Best suited for large parameter space searches
• Maximum likelihood detection method + Frequentist approach
Time domain
• Best suited to target known objects, even if phase evolution is complicated
Bayesian approach
Early science runs --- use both pipelines for the same search for cross-checking and validation

Einstein@Home A maximum-sensitivity all-sky search for pulsars
in LIGO data requires more computer resources than exist on the planet.
The world’s largest supercomputer is arguably SETI@home
» A $599 computer from Radio Shack is a very powerful computational engine.
» Currently runs on a half-million machines at any given time.
With help from the SETI@home developers, LIGO scientists have created a distributed public all-sky pulsar search.

Einstein@Home
Versions are available for Windows, Mac, Linux.
How does Einstein@home work?
» Downloads a 12 MB ‘snippet’ of data from Einstein@home servers
» Searches the sky in a narrow range of frequencies
» Uploads interesting candidates for further follow-up
» Screensaver shows where you are currently searching in the sky
We invite all of you to join Einstein@Home and help us find gravitational waves.

Einstein@Home Users I'm from Germany and was
interested in the mysteries of the universe since I was a little boy. I read lots of magazines about astrophysics and astronomy. When I heard about the Einstein@Home project it was no question for me to participate.
My job is to make original-sized design models of new Mercedes-Benz cars, especially the interieur. When I don't work I often play keyboards and percussions and sing some backing vocals in my cover-rock-band "Gilga-Mesh"

Einstein@Home Users Hi, my name's John Slattery. I'm a
62 year old English teacher, originally from Boston, MA, currently living in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I'm tutoring, and teaching ESL.
My hobbies: fitness, camping, hiking, reading, writing, surfing the Net
I'm so very new at this; I'm not even sure what's going on. But it seemed, from the little I could understand, to be a worthwhile project.
