Item Lensing by gravitational waves in scalar – tensor gravity: Einstein frame analysis(2015-03-11) Faraoni, Valerio; Gunzing , EdgardThe amplification of a light beam due to intervening gravitational waves is studied. The previous Jordan frame result according to which the amplification is many orders of magnitude larger in scalar-tensor gravity than in general relativity does not hold in the Einstein conformal frame. Lensing by gravitational waves is discussed in relation to the ongoing and proposed VLBI observations aimed at detecting the scintillation effect.Item Search for gravitational waves from the millisecond pulsar PSR 0437-471(2015-03-11) Mohanty, S.D.; Heng, I.S.; Blair, D.G; Dhurandhar, S.V.; Tobar, M.; Ivanov, E.A search for gravitational waves from the millisecond pulsar PSR 0437-471has been initiated using the bar detector NIOBE which is located at the University of Western Australia. This search involves a very long coherent integration of the bar output which may stretch over a few years. We present a detailed report on the data analysis algorithm, called phase plane rotation,which will be used in this search. A discussion of the actual implementation of the algorithm is presented.
