Two Gravity-Wave Detectors: A Comparison

Abstract

The two-body operator defined by Eqs. (1) and (2) is similar to that of the separable, quadrupole-quadrupole

Gravitational-Wave Astronomy

“…But it will leave completely unaffected the magnitude thermal An I t of fluctuations on timescales At < Tfb and will therefore not improve the noise problems for gravitational-wave bursts shorter than Tfb. (Rasband et al 1972); also two pendula, well separated but suspended from a common support [Braginskii and Rudenko (1970); this antenna looks promising for detecting waves from pulsars; it has the advantage of a very large Q ~ 10 .] A lumped, resonant antenna, monitored between its low fundamental frequency and its much higher "harmonic" frequencies, would function as a wideband almost-free antenna.…”
