On constraining the speed of gravitational waves following GW150914

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mikhail Ivanov

We point out that the observed time delay between the detection of the signal at the Hanford and Livingston LIGO sites from the gravitational wave event GW150914 places an upper bound on the speed of propagation of gravitational waves, c (gw) ae(2) 1.7 in ...

Today, the development and evaluation of traffic management strategies heavily relies on microscopic traffic simulation models. In case detailed input (i.e. od matrix, signal timings, etc.) is extracted and incorporated in these simulators, they can provid ...

GREAT3 results - I. Systematic errors in shear estimation and the impact of real galaxy morphology

Frédéric Courbin, Jean-Luc Starck, Thibault Adrien Kuntzer, Malte Tewes, Huanyuan Shan, Marc Gentile, Guldariya Nurbaeva, Jun Zhang

We present first results from the third GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing (GREAT3) challenge, the third in a sequence of challenges for testing methods of inferring weak gravitational lensing shear distortions from simulated galaxy images. GREAT3 was ...

Under the assumption of a flat Lambda CDM cosmology, recent data from the Planck satellite point toward a Hubble constant that is in tension with that measured by gravitational lens time delays and by the local distance ladder. Prosaically, this difference ...

The Third Gravitational Lensing Accuracy Testing (Great3) Challenge Handbook

Frédéric Courbin, Marc Gentile, Richard Massey

The GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 3 (GREAT3) challenge is the third in a series of image analysis challenges, with a goal of testing and facilitating the development of methods for analyzing astronomical images that will be used to measure weak gr ...

Two Accurate Time-Delay Distances From Strong Lensing: Implications For Cosmology

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

Strong gravitational lenses with measured time delays between the multiple images and models of the lens mass distribution allow a one-step determination of the time-delay distance, and thus a measure of cosmological parameters. We present a blind analysis ...

Dynamics of the head of gravity currents

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira, Claudia Adduce

The present work experimentally investigates the dynamics of unsteady gravity currents produced by lock-release of a saline mixture into a fresh water tank. Seven different experimental runs were performed by varying the density of the salinemixture in the ...

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Large-Scale Structures

Marc Gentile

There is now very strong evidence that our Universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion period as if it were under the influence of a gravitationally repulsive “dark energy” component. Furthermore, most of the mass of the Universe seems to be in the for ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yves Revaz, Malte Tewes

We present accurate time delays for the quadruply imaged quasar HE 0435-1223. The delays were measured from 575 independent photometric points obtained in the R-band between January 2004 and March 2010. With seven years of data, we clearly show that quasar ...

Governing the speed of a light signal in optical fibers

Sang Hoon Chin

Dynamic control of the speed of a light signal, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers, was theoretically studied and also experimentally demonstrated as the core object of this thesis. To date, slow light based on stimulated Brillouin ...
