Time-Delay Cosmography: Measuring the Hubble Constant and Other Cosmological Parameters with Strong Gravitational Lensing

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

Multiply lensed images of a same source experience a relative time delay in the arrival of photons due to the path length difference and the different gravitational potentials the photons travel through. This effect can be used to measure absolute distance ...

Nanomechanical resonators with low dissipation for quantum optomechanics

Alberto Beccari

Fields of technology as diverse as microwave filter construction, characterization of material interfaces with atomic precision, and detection of gravitational waves from astronomical sources employ mechanical resonators at their core. The utility of mecha ...

Gravitational wave signal from primordial magnetic fields in the Pulsar Timing Array frequency band

Andrii Neronov

The NANOGrav, Parkes, European, and International Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) Collaborations have reported evidence for a common-spectrum process that can potentially correspond to a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) in the 1-100 nHz frequency ...

Novel Search for High-Frequency Gravitational Waves with Low-Mass Axion Haloscopes

Valerie Fiona Domcke

Gravitational waves (GWs) generate oscillating electromagnetic effects in the vicinity of external electric and magnetic fields. We discuss this phenomenon with a particular focus on reinterpreting the results of axion haloscopes based on lumped-element de ...

Classical soft graviton theorem rewritten

Biswajit Sahoo

Classical soft graviton theorem gives the gravitational wave-form at future null infinity at late retarded time u for a general classical scattering. The large u expansion has three known universal terms: the constant term, the term proportional to 1/u and ...

A simple theoretical model for estimating the frequency characteristics of black hole mergers

Roberto Guarino

Gravitational waves, despite predicted within the Theory of General Relativity about a century ago, were observed experi-mentally only in the last few years, thanks to the recent advances of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. In this work, we introduce a simple ...

The GRANDMA network in preparation for the fourth gravitational-wave observing run

Jieping Zhu, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Xiao Wang

GRANDMA is a world-wide collaboration with the primary scientific goal of studying gravitational-wave sources, discovering their electromagnetic counterparts and characterizing their emission. GRANDMA involves astronomers, astrophysicists, gravitational-wa ...

Perimeter Modes of Nanomechanical Resonators Exhibit Quality Factors Exceeding 10(9) at Room Temperature

Tobias Kippenberg, Guanhao Huang, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi, Nils Johan Engelsen, Sergey Fedorov

Systems with low mechanical dissipation are extensively used in precision measurements such as gravitational wave detection, atomic force microscopy, and quantum control of mechanical oscillators via optomechanics and electromechanics. The mechanical quali ...

Challenges and opportunities of gravitational-wave searches at MHz to GHz frequencies

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Francisco Torrenti

The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges and gains expected in gravitational-wave searches at frequencies above the ...

Potential of Radio Telescopes as High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Detectors

Valerie Fiona Domcke

In the presence of magnetic fields, gravitational waves are converted into photons and vice versa. We demonstrate that this conversion leads to a distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which can serve as a detector for MHz to GHz gravitationa ...
