A graviton laser works, in principle, by the stimulated emission of coherent gravitons from a lasing medium. For significant amplification, we must have a very long path length and/or very high densities. Black holes and the existence of weakly interacting sub-eV dark matter particles (WISPs) solve both of these obstacles. Orbiting trajectories for massless particles around black holes are well understood cite{mtw} and allow for arbitrarily long graviton path lengths. Superradiance from Kerr black holes of WISPs can provide the sufficiently high density cite{ABH}. This suggests that black holes can act as efficient graviton lasers. Thus directed graviton laser beams have been emitted since the beginning of the universe and give rise to new sources of gravitational wave signals. To be in the path of particularly harmfully amplified graviton death rays will not be pleasant.

We consider the possibility of creating a graviton laser. The lasing medium would be a system of contained, ultra cold neutrons. Ultra cold neutrons are a quantum mechanical system that interacts with gravitational fields and with the phonons of the
container walls. It is possible to create a population inversion by pumping the system using the phonons. We compute the rate of spontaneous emission of gravitons and the rate of the subsequent stimulated emission of gravitons. The gain obtainable is directly proportional to the density of the lasing medium and the fraction of the population inversion. The applications of a graviton laser would be interesting.
We present a systematic comparison of the binary black hole (BBH) signal waveform reconstructed by two independent and complementary approaches used in LIGO and Virgo source inference: a template-based analysis, and a morphology-independent analysis.
We apply the two approaches to real events and to two sets of simulated observations made by adding simulated BBH signals to LIGO and Virgo detector noise. The first set is representative of the 10 BBH events in the first Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-1). The second set is constructed from a population of BBH systems with total mass and signal strength in the ranges that ground based detectors are typically sensitive. We find that the reconstruction quality of the GWTC-1 events is consistent with the results of both sets of simulated signals. We also demonstrate a simulated case where the presence of a mismodelled effect in the observed signal, namely higher order modes, can be identified through the morphology-independent analysis. This study is relevant for currently progressing and future observational runs by LIGO and Virgo.
In a recent paper we have analyzed the Spinor Theory of Gravity (STG) which is based on the intimate relation between Fermi (weak) interaction and gravity. We presented the hypothesis that the effect of matter upon the metric that represents gravitat
ional interaction in General Relativity is an effective one. This lead us to consider gravitation to be the result of the interaction of two neutral spinorial fields (G-neutrinos) $Psi_g$ and $Omega_g$ with all kinds of matter and energy through the generation of such effective metric. In other words, the universal metric that represents gravitational interaction in the framework of General Relativity is constructed with the weak currents associated to $Psi_g$ and $Omega_g$. In the first paper we have shown that when only one spinor exists, the effective metric of a static and spherically symmetric configuration is identical to the Schwarzschild geometry of GR. In the present paper we go one step further and consider the case in which the field $Psi_g$ has a self-interaction. The solution of a static and spherically symmetric configuration is distinct from the previous one. This new solution presents another horizon that we compare with the case of Schwarzschild.
Gravitational waves carry energy, angular momentum, and linear momentum. In generic binary black hole mergers, the loss of linear momentum imparts a recoil velocity, or a kick, to the remnant black hole. We exploit recent advances in gravitational wa
veform and remnant black hole modeling to extract information about the kick from the gravitational wave signal. Kick measurements such as these are astrophysically valuable, enabling independent constraints on the rate of second-generation mergers. Further, we show that kicks must be factored into future ringdown tests of general relativity with third-generation gravitational wave detectors to avoid systematic biases. We find that, although little information can be gained about the kick for existing gravitational wave events, interesting measurements will soon become possible as detectors improve. We show that, once LIGO and Virgo reach their design sensitivities, we will reliably extract the kick velocity for generically precessing binaries--including the so-called superkicks, reaching up to 5000 km/s.
Accurate extractions of the detected gravitational wave (GW) signal waveforms are essential to validate a detection and to probe the astrophysics behind the sources producing the GWs. This however could be difficult in realistic scenarios where the s
ignals detected by existing GW detectors could be contaminated with non-stationary and non-Gaussian noise. While the performance of existing waveform extraction methods are optimal, they are not fast enough for online application, which is important for multi-messenger astronomy. In this paper, we demonstrate that a deep learning architecture consisting of Convolutional Neural Network and bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory components can be used to extract binary black hole (BBH) GW waveforms from realistic noise in a few milli-seconds. We have tested our network systematically on injected GW signals, with component masses uniformly distributed in the range of 10 to 80 solar masses, on Gaussian noise and LIGO detector noise. We find that our model can extract GW waveforms with overlaps of more than 0.95 with pure Numerical Relativity templates for signals with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than six, and is also robust against interfering glitches. We then apply our model to all ten detected BBH events from the first (O1) and second (O2) observation runs, obtaining greater than 0.97 overlaps for all ten extracted BBH waveforms with the corresponding pure templates. We discuss the implication of our result and its future applications to GW localization and mass estimation.
