Publications

Journal Articles:

The earliest four papers constitute the bulk of my Ph.D. dissertation. The latest papers are work done after my Ph.D.  Preprints are available from the Los Alamos National Archive by clicking on the article for articles already published.  Brian Keith, Bryan Campbell, and Louis Bianchini were Bridgewater Undergrads.  I have published in Physical Review D (PRD), Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG), the Astrophysical Journal (ApJ), General Relativity and Gravitation (GRG), and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS).
