Neutron stars more compact than black holes as a probe of strong-field gravity

Shoulong Li, H. Lü, Yong Gao +3

Probing gravity in its strongest regime is a central goal of modern physics, as the nature of the most compact objects reflects fundamental aspects of Einstein's theory of general…

Glued lattices are better quantizers than

Erik Agrell, Daniel Pook-Kolb, Bruce Allen

40 years ago, Conway and Sloane proposed using the highly symmetrical Coxeter-Todd lattice for quantization, and estimated its second moment. Since then, all published lis…

Phenomenological gravitational waveform model of binary black holes incorporating horizon fluxes

Samanwaya Mukherjee, Khun Sang Phukon, Sayak Datta +1

Subjected to the tidal field of its companion, each component of a coalescing black hole binary suffers a slow change in its mass (tidal heating) and spin (tidal torquing) during t…
