The goal of this SPRINT collaboration is to investigate the production, impact and dectability of gravitational waves from neutron star oscillations. The proposed collaboration will complement well the FAPESP Regular Research Award "Relativistic Astrophysics and Gravitational Waves) (process number 2015/20433-4) of UFABC PI Chirenti, and the dynamics and gravitational wave research of UMD…
This project focuses on the study of compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, by using their emitted gravitational waves in a number of different configurations. The theoretical study of gravitational waves, described as time-evolving small perturbations in a background spacetime, can provide relevant information on their sources. Cosmological models, equations of state des…
Gravitational waves are predicted by general relativity and there have been already indirect observations of these waves, as in the case of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar. Gravitational wave detectors are being built, commissioned and further improved in many countries of the world. This effort is also present in Brazil, where the Mario Schenberg spherical detector is developed.Isolated n…
Numerical relativity simulations which describe the evolution and emission of gravitational waves of black hole binary systems where crucial to the development of the templates used by the LIGO collaboration to validate the first detections of gravitational waves. In this proposal we aim to explore these simulations results, in order to search for extra informations which could enhance ou…
The recent direct detections of gravitational waves announced in 2016 are the starting point of gravitational wave Astronomy. This research project deals with several aspects related to the emission of gravitational waves by compact objects such as neutrons and black holes. The main objective is to expand the knowledge of these objects and propose tests of the theory of general relativity…
This is a proposed plan of two combined projects. The first project is a continuation of the work done by me and my PhD supervisor, Prof. Matt Visser, on the topic of highly damped black hole quasi-normal modes (QNMs). We obtained approximate analytical results for different spherically symmetric spacetimes. Now the important issue is to extract some possible information about how our res…
Supernovae (SNe) are, in a few words, extremely energetic explosions of stars that can be ignited by several different processes, such as thermonuclear explosions, core-collapse, etc. These events have extremely rich physics that may teach us a lot about extreme states of matter, how heavy elements are formed about neutrino production, and more. Hence the importance of the direct detectio…
