New Paper Our paper on gravitational wave (GW) captures with Ryan O'Leary and Avi Loeb is out on the arXiv! We provide theoretical predictions for a new type of GW events for terrestrial GW detectors. These events produce GW signals stronger than any other known GW waveform, and can end up being one of the most frequent sources for detection. See more details here.

Important News The Beyond Einstein Program Assessment Committee (BEPAC) had its say on 5 NASA missions. Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) is to be the first mission in NASA's Beyond Einstein Program set to begin in 2009, while the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) should become the next flagship mission given the success of the ESA LISA Pathfinder mission. The report identifies LISA's potential to locate gravitational wave events along with electromagnetic counterparts as one of the major scientific potentials of the mission that "would revolutionize cosmography". These statements are based specifically on my papers (see here).
