Nonlinear gravitational-wave memory from binary black hole mergers (2009)

Favata, Marc

Some astrophysical sources of gravitational-waves can produce a "memory effect," which causes a permanent displacement of the test masses in a freely-falling gravitational-wave detector. The...

Post-Newtonian corrections to the gravitational-wave memory for quasi-circular, inspiralling compact binaries (2008)

Favata, Marc

The Christodoulou memory is a nonlinear contribution to the gravitational-wave field that is sourced by the gravitational-wave stress-energy tensor. For quasi-circular, inspiralling binaries, the...

Gravitational-wave memory revisited: memory from the merger and recoil of binary black holes (2008)

Favata, Marc

Gravitational-wave memory refers to the permanent displacement of the test masses in an idealized (freely-falling) gravitational-wave interferometer. Inspiraling binaries produce a particularly...

Kicking Black Holes, Crushing Neutron Stars, and the Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation for Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals (2006)

Favata, Marc

Current experiments hope to detect gravitational waves--oscillations of space and time predicted by Einstein. The strongest sources of gravitational waves are compact object binaries--orbiting...

Kicking Black Holes, Crushing Neutron Stars, and the Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation for Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals (2006)

Are neutron stars crushed? Gravitomagnetic tidal fields as a mechanism for binary-induced collapse (2005)

Favata, Marc

Numerical simulations of binary neutron stars by Wilson, Mathews, and Marronetti indicated that neutron stars that are stable in isolation can be made to collapse to black holes when placed in a...

How black holes get their kicks: Radiation recoil in binary black hole mergers (2004)

Hughes, Scott A., Favata, Marc, Holz, Daniel E.

Gravitational waves from the coalescence of binary black holes carry linear momentum, causing center of mass recoil. This ``radiation rocket'' has important implications for systems with escape...

How black holes get their kicks: Gravitational radiation recoil revisited (2004)

Favata, Marc, Hughes, Scott A., Holz, Daniel E.

Gravitational waves from the coalescence of binary black holes carry away linear momentum, causing center of mass recoil. This "radiation rocket" effect has important implications for systems with...

Consequences of gravitational radiation recoil (2004)

Merritt, David, Milosavljevic, Milos, Favata, Marc, Hughes, Scott A., Holz, Daniel E.

Coalescing binary black holes experience an impulsive kick due to anisotropic emission of gravitational waves. We discuss the dynamical consequences of the recoil accompanying massive black hole...

Energy localization invariance of tidal work in general relativity (2001)

Favata, Marc

It is well known that when an external general relativistic (electric-type) tidal field Ejk(t) interacts with the evolving quadrupole moment Ijk(t) of an isolated body the tidal field does work on...

Energy Localization Invariance of Tidal Work in General Relativity (2000)

Favata, Marc

It is well known that, when an external general relativistic (electric-type) tidal field E(t) interacts with the evolving quadrupole moment I(t) of an isolated body, the tidal field does work on the...
