Understanding Gravitational Waves
The birth of a completely new branch of observational astronomy is a rare and exciting occurrence.For a long time, our theories about gravitational waves—proposed by Albert Einstein and others more than a hundred years ago—could never be fully proven, since we lacked the proper technology to do it. That all changed when, on September 14, 2015, instruments at the LIGO Observatory detected gravitational waves for the first time. This book explores the nature of gravitational waves—what they are, where they come from, why they are so significant and why nobody could prove they existed before now.Written in plain language and interspersed with additional explanatory tutorials, it will appeal to lay readers, science enthusiasts, physical science students, amateur astronomers and to professional scientists and astronomers.

Gravitational Wave Astrophysics (IAU S338) : Early Results from Gravitational Wave Searches and Electromagnetic Counterparts
Gravitational waves were predicted 100 years ago by Einstein as part of his general theory of relativity.This volume contains the exciting results presented at IAU Symposium 338, following the announcement of the first results of the observation of the collision of neutron stars by the LIGO and Virgo Advanced detectors, and follow-up observations by many ground-based and space telescopes.These observations provided an incredible context for the talks, posters and discussions at the meeting, fostering new interactions and collaborations between physicists and astronomers in an exciting new era of multimessenger astrophysics.For the first time, space-time messengers (gravitational waves) and electromagnetic ones (visible, infrared and ultraviolet light, x-rays, gamma-rays, radio waves) can be correlated, to increase our understanding of binary systems of compact objects, rotating or exploding stars and other astrophysical phenomena.A new window has opened through which we can view the cosmos.

How does one escape the gravitational pull of the sun?
To escape the gravitational pull of the sun, an object would need to achieve escape velocity, which is the minimum speed required to break free from the gravitational pull of a celestial body. The escape velocity from the sun is about 617.5 km/s (384.6 mi/s). This means that an object would need to reach this speed in order to overcome the sun's gravitational pull and travel into space. Currently, no spacecraft has achieved this velocity, so escaping the sun's gravitational pull is not feasible with our current technology.

What is the gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter?
The gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter is approximately 1.9 x 10^27 Newtons. This force is what keeps Jupiter in orbit around the Sun, as it is the gravitational pull of the Sun that keeps the planet in its path. The force of gravity between the Sun and Jupiter is one of the key factors that determines the orbital dynamics of the solar system.
-
What is the gravitational attraction force between the Sun and Earth?
The gravitational attraction force between the Sun and Earth is approximately 3.52 x 10^22 Newtons. This force is what keeps Earth in orbit around the Sun and is responsible for the Earth's elliptical path around the Sun. The gravitational force between the Sun and Earth follows Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

What is gravitational pseudoforce?
Gravitational pseudoforce, also known as the centrifugal force, is a fictitious force that appears to act on objects in a rotating frame of reference. It is not a true force like gravity, but rather an apparent force that arises due to the acceleration of the reference frame. This pseudoforce is experienced by objects in a rotating system and is directed away from the axis of rotation. It is important to account for gravitational pseudoforce when analyzing the motion of objects in a rotating reference frame.

Gravitational Waves : Volume 2: Astrophysics and Cosmology
The two-volume book Gravitational Waves provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the physics of gravitational waves.While Volume 1 is devoted to the theory and experiments, Volume 2 discusses what can be learned from gravitational waves in astrophysics and in cosmology, by systematizing a large body of theoretical developments that have taken place over the last decades.The second volume also includes a detailed discussion of the first direct detections of gravitational waves.In the author's typical style, the theoretical results are generally derived afresh, clarifying or streamlining the existing derivations whenever possible, and providing a coherent and consistent picture of the field.The first volume of Gravitational Waves , which appeared in 2007, has established itself as the standard reference in the field.The scientific community has eagerly awaited this second volume.The recent direct detection of gravitational waves makes the topics in this book particularly timely.

Modern General Relativity : Black Holes, Gravitational Waves, and Cosmology
Einstein's general theory of relativity is widely considered to be one of the most elegant and successful scientific theories ever developed, and it is increasingly being taught in a simplified form at advanced undergraduate level within both physics and mathematics departments.Due to the increasing interest in gravitational physics, in both the academic and the public sphere, driven largely by widely-publicised developments such as the recent observations of gravitational waves, general relativity is also one of the most popular scientific topics pursued through self-study.Modern General Relativity introduces the reader to the general theory of relativity using an example-based approach, before describing some of its most important applications in cosmology and astrophysics, such as gamma-ray bursts, neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves.With hundreds of worked examples, explanatory boxes, and end-of-chapter problems, this textbook provides a solid foundation for understanding one of the towering achievements of twentieth-century physics.

What is gravitational circulation?
Gravitational circulation is the movement of fluids caused by differences in density due to gravity. In this process, denser fluid sinks while less dense fluid rises, creating a continuous circulation pattern. This phenomenon is commonly observed in oceans and lakes, where differences in temperature and salinity lead to variations in water density and drive the circulation of water masses. Gravitational circulation plays a crucial role in redistributing heat and nutrients in aquatic environments, influencing the overall ecosystem dynamics.

What is gravitational redshift?
Gravitational redshift is a phenomenon in which light or other electromagnetic radiation is shifted to longer wavelengths (lower frequencies) as it travels away from a gravitational field. This occurs because the gravitational field causes time to dilate, which in turn affects the frequency of the light. As the light moves away from the gravitational field, it loses energy and its wavelength increases, resulting in a redshift. Gravitational redshift is a key prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity and has been observed in various astronomical contexts, providing evidence for the theory's validity.

What are gravitational forces?
Gravitational forces are the attractive forces between two objects with mass. These forces are responsible for the phenomenon of gravity, which is the force that pulls objects towards each other. Gravitational forces are described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Gravitational forces are fundamental to the behavior of celestial bodies in space and are also important in understanding the motion of objects on Earth.

What is the gravitational force between the Sun and the planet Jupiter?
The gravitational force between the Sun and the planet Jupiter is approximately 1.9 x 10^27 Newtons. This force is responsible for keeping Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun, as well as influencing the motion of other celestial bodies in the solar system. The gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter is significantly greater than the force between the Sun and any of the other planets due to Jupiter's large mass.
