Research Interest
Binary black holes and neutron stars in a close orbit, and a largely deformed
rapidly rotating compact object, are strong gravitational wave sources,
which may be detectable by the interferometric dectors on the ground
(LIGO/VIRGO/GEO600/TAMA) and in the space (LISA/DECIGO).
Accurate knowledge of such compact objects is crucial to develop theoretical
models for associated gravitational waveforms that enhance the chances for
detecting the signal in the noisy output of the laser interferometers.
We have been developing new formulation and numerical method for computing
quasi-equilibriums solutions of such systems, which are used as initial data
sets for accurate simulations of numerical relativity, and sources to
produce gravitational wave templates.
