  • Emission-angle and polarization-rotation effects in the lensed CMB 

    Lewis, A; Hall, A; Challinor, Anthony David
    Lensing of the CMB is an important effect, and is usually modelled by remapping the unlensed CMB fields by a lensing deflection. However the lensing deflections also change the photon path so that the emission angle is no ...

  • Numerical simulations of stellar collapse in scalar-tensor theories of gravity 

    Gerosa, Davide; Sperhake, Ulrich; Ott, Christian D. (Institute of PhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2016-05-31)
    We present numerical-relativity simulations of spherically symmetric core collapse and compact-object formation in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The additional scalar degree of freedom introduces a propagating monopole ...

  • On the equal-mass limit of precessing black-hole binaries 

    Gerosa, D; Sperhake, Ulrich; Vošmera, J (Institute of PhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2017-03-23)
    We analyze the inspiral dynamics of equal-mass precessing black-hole binaries using multi-timescale techniques. The orbit-averaged post-Newtonian evolutionary equations admit two constants of motion in the equal-mass limit, ...
