Waves & Bands: Compact binaries as producers of gravitational and electromagnetic radiation

Seminar
Mon, Mar 01, 2010, 3:10 PM
Location:
MP1318A

Luis Lehner (Perimeter Institute / Univ. of Guelph)

Abstract:

Compact binaries are ideal producers of gravitational waves
and researchers are actively studying ways to detect and decipher
the information carried out by them. As an ``added bonus'' these
systems might be able to produce electromagnetic radiation and allow
for studying them through different bands. This talk will concentrate
on a few possible options and analyze their possible signatures.
