Title : Dynamics and gravitational waves emission of spinning compact binary systems in general relativity and beyond
Team : ASTRE
Supervisors : Laura Bernard
Analytical modeling of gravitational waves in general relativity has been one of the key elements enabling the numerous detections by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. The arrival of third-generation detectors (2035), such as the Einstein Telescope, and the LISA space detector promises major advances in our understanding of the theory of gravity and compact objects. However, the very high precision of the expected data presents us with new challenges. In particular, it is essential to have a bank of waveform models covering the entire parameter space of compact binaries, including spin and eccentricity, in order to accurately describe the inspiral phase of compact binary systems. Extending these results to other theories of gravity is also crucial for testing the theory of General Relativity.
