We explore fallback accretion onto newly born magnetars during the supernova of massive stars. Strong magnetic fields (~10^{15} G) and short spin periods (~1-10 ms) have an important influence on how the magnetar interacts with the…
In this paper we study the spin-evolution and gravitational-wave luminosity of a newly born millisecond magnetar, formed either after the collapse of a massive star or after the merger of two neutron stars. In both cases we consider the…
We consider the emission of gravitational waves in the two proposed models for the collapse of a massive star to a black hole: the prompt collapse, in which nearly all the star collapses to a black hole in a dynamical time scale, and the…
We discuss a novel mechanism to generate gravitational waves in the early universe. A standard way to produce primordial black holes is to enhance at small-scales the overdensity perturbations generated during inflation. The latter, upon…
Gravitational waves are a potential direct probe for the multi-dimensional flow during the first second of core-collapse supernova explosions. Here we outline the structure of the predicted gravitational wave signal from neutrino-driven…
It is widely assumed that the observed reduction of the magnetic field of millisecond pulsars can be connected to the accretion phase during which the pulsar is spun up by mass accretion from a companion. A wide variety of reduction…
Black holes in core-collapse of massive stars are expected to surge in mass and angular momentum by hyper-accretion immediately following their formation. We here describe a general framework of extended emission in gravitational waves from…
We present a mechanism for long bursts of gravitational radiation from Kerr black holes surrounded by a torus. These systems are believed to form in core-collapse of massive stars in association with gamma-ray bursts. The torus catalyzes…
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from rapidly spinning black hole-torus systems may represent hypernovae or black hole-neutron star coalescence. We show that the torus may radiate gravitational radiation powered by the spin-energy of the black…
A torus develops a state of suspended accretion against a magnetic wall around a rapidly rotating black hole formed in core-collapse hypernovae. It hereby emits about 10% of the black hole spin-energy in gravitational radiation from a…
Some core-collapse supernovae appear to be hyper-energetic, and a subset of these are aspherical and associated with long GRBs. We use observations of electromagnetic emission from core-collapse supernovae and GRBs to impose constraints on…
The amplitude of the gravitational radiation from an accreting neutron star undergoing polar magnetic burial is calculated. During accretion, the magnetic field of a neutron star is compressed into a narrow belt at the magnetic equator by…
The transformation of powerful gravitational waves, created by the coalescence of massive black hole binaries, into electromagnetic radiation in external magnetic fields is revisited. In contrast to the previous calculations of the similar…
Galaxy mergers produce supermassive black hole binaries, which emit gravitational waves prior to their coalescence. We perform three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations to study the tidal disruption of stars by such a binary in the final…
We investigate the impact of rotation and magnetic fields on the dynamics and gravitational wave emission in 2D core-collapse supernova simulations with neutrino transport. We simulate 17 different models of $15\,M_\odot$ and $39\,M_\odot$…
We review sources of high-frequency gravitational waves, summarizing our current understanding of emission mechanisms, expected amplitudes and event rates. The most promising sources are gravitational collapse (formation of black holes or…
We investigate a new mechanism to create large curvature perturbations on small scales due to parameter resonance in a single-field inflationary model with a small periodic structure upon the potential. After reentering the horizon, the…
In this paper we analyze in detail a rarely discussed question of gravity wave production from evaporating primordial black holes. These black holes emit gravitons which are, at classical level, registered as gravity waves. We use the…
We consider the spin evolution of highly magnetized neutron stars in a hypercritical inflow just after their birth in supernovae. Presence of a strong magnetic field could deform the star and if the symmetry axis of the field is misaligned…
We suggest that the collapsing core of a massive rotating star may fragment to produce two or more compact objects. Their coalescence under gravitational radiation gives the resulting black hole or neutron star a significant kick velocity,…
