B Will eLISA have the potential to detect early universe GWs?

AI Thread Summary
eLISA is expected to have the capability to detect gravitational waves (GWs) from the early universe, particularly by measuring the overall background of these waves. Its success hinges on achieving design sensitivity and effectively separating background signals from the gravitational wave background. The discussion highlights the distinction between stochastic backgrounds arising from quantum fluctuations and classical phenomena that produced gravitational waves in the early universe. Scientists are exploring ambitious models to better understand these early universe gravitational waves. Overall, eLISA's potential in this area could significantly advance our knowledge of cosmic events.

Gravitational waves from the early universe? The short answer is yes. It should, to some extent, be able to measure the overall background of gravitational waves in the universe. Provided it reaches its design sensitivity and the background signals can be effectively separated from the gravitational wave background.

the background signals being the stochastic background arising from quantum fluctuations?; modeled by quantum states and early universe gravitational waves refers to classical phenomena producing gravitational waves, but that occurred in the early universe? Or what are the usual terms used to distinguish early universe gravitational waves

many thanks
 

Thread 'Illuminating Black Hole Shadows with Dark Matter Annihilation'

Abstract The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has significantly advanced our ability to study black holes, achieving unprecedented spatial resolution and revealing horizon-scale structures. Notably, these observations feature a distinctive dark shadow—primarily arising from faint jet emissions—surrounded by a bright photon ring. Anticipated upgrades of the EHT promise substantial improvements in dynamic range, enabling deeper exploration of low-background regions, particularly the inner shadow...

Thread 'Questions about quantum cosmology'

what is the current status of the field for quantum cosmology, are there any observations that support any theory of quantum cosmology? is it just cosmology during the Planck era or does it extend past the Planck era. what are the leading candidates into research into quantum cosmology and which physics departments research it? how much respect does loop quantum cosmology has compared to string cosmology with actual cosmologists?
