The past GW REM talks

The 100th REM: July 12th, 2019, Friday

• Time: 13:00-14:00
• Speaker: Shoichi Oshino (ICRR, the University of Tokyo)

  • Title: "A review on BBH formations in N-body simulations"

  • pdf

  • Abstract:

    Since the first gravitational wave was detected by LIGO, several BH merging events have already been observed. However, the process of BBH formation is still unclear. Here, I introduce studies that use N-body simulations to investigate BBH formation by gravitational interactions in star clusters.

The 99th REM: June 14th, 2019, Friday

• Time: 13:00-14:00
• Speaker: Hisaaki Shinkai (Osaka Inst. Tech.)

  • Title: "INO: Interplanetary Network of Optical Lattice Clocks"

  • ref: Int. J. Mod. Phys. D. (2019) https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218271819400029 or arXiv:1809.10317

  • Abstract

    The new technique of measuring frequency by optical lattice clocks now approaches to the relative precision of (\Delta f/f)=O(10^{-18}). We propose to place such precise clocks in space and to use Doppler tracking method for detecting low-frequency gravitational wave below 1 Hz. Our idea is to locate three satellites at one A.U. distance (say at L1, L4 & L5 of the Sun-Earth orbit), and apply the Doppler tracking method by communicating ``the time" each other. Applying the current available technologies, we obtain the sensitivity for gravitational wave with three or four-order improvement (h_{n}\sim 10^{-17} or 10^{-18} level in 10^{-5} Hz -- 1 Hz) than that of Cassini satellite in 2001. This sensitivity enables us to observe black-hole mergers of their mass greater than 10^5 M_\odot in the cosmological scale. Based on the hierarchical growth model of black-holes in galaxies, we estimate the event rate of detection will be 20-50 a year. We nickname "INO" (Interplanetary Network of Optical Lattice Clocks) for this system, named after Tadataka Ino (1745--1818), a Japanese astronomer, cartographer, and geodesist.

  • Title: "Advanced Virgo suspension control"

  • Presentation material

  • Abstract:

    In this talk I will give you an overview of the control strategy adopted on the AdV seismic isolation system (the Superattenuator). I will show you  the impact of this strategy on the residual motion of the test masses and the  AdV sensitivity curve in the region below 10 Hz at the time  of first triple detection of GW.
