G= 8
General Relativity the essential idea
Overthrew the 19th-century concepts of absolute space and time
Gravity is not a force, but a property of space & time» Spacetime = 3 spatial dimensions + time» Perception of space or time is relative
Concentrations of mass or energy distort (warp) spacetime
Objects follow the shortest path through this warped spacetime; path is the same for all objects

problems of astronomy and terrestrial physics» eccentric orbits of comets» cause of tides and their
variations» the precession of the
earth’s axis» the perturbation of the
motion of the moon by gravity of the sun

But, what causes the mysterious force in Newtons theory ?
Although the equation explains nature very well, the underlying mechanism creating the force is not explained !

A new prediction of Einstein’s theory …
Light from distant stars are bent as they graze the Sun. The exact amount is predicted by Einstein's theory.

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, h. 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
)/()/( czthczthh x
• The strain h 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.

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

Thermal Noise limits middle frequencies
Quantum nature of light (Shot Noise) limits high frequencies

• 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

Approaching spin-down upper limits
For Crab pulsar (B0531+21) we are still a factor of ~35 above the spin-down upper limit in S2.
Hope to reach spin-down based upper limit in S3!
Note that not all pulsars analysed are constrained due to spin-down rates; some actually appear to be spinning-up (associated with accelerations in globular cluster).

LIGO Construction is complete & commissioning is well underway
New upper limits for neutron binary inspirals, a fast pulsar and stochastic backgrounds have been achieved from the first short science run
Sensitivity improvements are rapid -- second data run was 10x more sensitive and 4x duration and results are beginning to be reported ----- (e.g. improved pulsar searches)
Enhanced detectors will be installed in ~ 5 years, further increasing sensitivity
Direct detection should be achieved and gravitational-wave astronomy begun within the next decade !
