X-Ray Inputs into Gravitational Wave Science |
Abstract |
Input from X-ray astronomy is critical to gravitational wave searches, providing (for example) trigger times for burst searches and ephemerides for continuous wave searches. Even in cases where it cannot supply a precise signal template, X-ray astronomy can provide constraints on gravitational wave generation mechanisms. I will review the prospects for interaction between these two fields in the light of current and planned X-ray missions. |
