Modeling gravitational waves from exotic compact objects
Alexandre Toubiana, Stanislav Babak, Enrico Barausse +1
Exotic compact objects can be difficult to distinguish from black holes in the inspiral phase of the binaries observed by gravitational-wave detectors, but significant differences…
EHT tests of the strong-field regime of General Relativity
Sebastian H. Völkel, Enrico Barausse, Nicola Franchini +1
Following up on a recent analysis by Psaltis et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 141104 (2020)], we show that the observed shadow size of M87 can be used to unambiguously and robustl…
Tidal Love Numbers of Kerr Black Holes
Alexandre Le Tiec, Marc Casals, Edgardo Franzin
The open question of whether a Kerr black hole can become tidally deformed or not has profound implications for fundamental physics and gravitational-wave astronomy. We consider a…
Back-reaction in canonical analogue black holes
Stefano Liberati, Giovanni Tricella, Andrea Trombettoni
We study the back-reaction associated with Hawking evaporation of an acoustic canonical analogue black hole in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that the emission of Hawking radi…
Dynamics of Screening in Modified Gravity
Lotte ter Haar, Miguel Bezares, Marco Crisostomi +2
Gravitational theories differing from General Relativity may explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe without a cosmological constant. However, to pass local gravitational…
The TianQin project: current progress on science and technology
Jianwei Mei, Yan-Zheng Bai, Jiahui Bao +103
TianQin is a planned space-based gravitational wave (GW) observatory consisting of three earth orbiting satellites with an orbital radius of about . The satellites w…
K-dynamics: well-posed 1+1 evolutions in K-essence
Miguel Bezares, Marco Crisostomi, Carlos Palenzuela +1
We study the vacuum Cauchy problem for K-essence, i.e. cosmologically relevant scalar-tensor theories that involve first-order derivative self-interactions, and which pass all exis…
Bayesian Metric Reconstruction with Gravitational Wave Observations
Sebastian H. Völkel, Enrico Barausse
Theories of gravity extending or modifying general relativity typically allow for black hole solutions different from the Schwarzschild/Kerr geometries. Electromagnetic observation…
Spin-induced black hole spontaneous scalarization
Alexandru Dima, Enrico Barausse, Nicola Franchini +1
We study scalar fields in a black hole background and show that, when the scalar is suitably coupled to curvature, rapid rotation can induce a tachyonic instability. This instabili…
Causal hierarchy in modified gravity
Raul Carballo-Rubio, Francesco Di Filippo, Stefano Liberati +1
We investigate the causal hierarchy in various modified theories of gravity. In general relativity the standard causal hierarchy, (key elements of which are chronology, causality,…
On Black Hole Temperature in Horndeski Gravity
K. Hajian, S. Liberati, M. M. Sheikh-Jabbari +1
It has been observed that for black holes in certain family of Horndeski gravity theories Wald's entropy formula does not lead to the correct first law for black hole thermodynamic…
Electromagnetic tests of horizonless rotating black hole mimickers
Anna Zulianello, Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Stefano Liberati +1
The interest in the implications that astrophysical observations have for the understanding of the structure of black holes has grown since the first detection of gravitational wav…
Detecting scalar fields with Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals
Andrea Maselli, Nicola Franchini, Leonardo Gualtieri +1
We study Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs), during which a small body spirals into a supermassive black hole, in gravity theories with additional scalar fields. We first argue t…
Tests of general relativity with stellar-mass black hole binaries observed by LISA
Alexandre Toubiana, Sylvain Marsat, Enrico Barausse +2
We consider the observation of stellar-mass black holes binaries with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Preliminary results based on Fisher information matrix analyses…
Asymptotic horizon formation, spacetime stretching and causality
Carlos Barceló, Valentin Boyanov, Raúl Carballo-Rubio +1
In this work we analyse asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric spacetimes in which an event horizon is present without any trapped surfaces. We identify two types of such space…
Numerical investigation of plasma-driven superradiant instabilities
Alexandru Dima, Enrico Barausse
Photons propagating in a plasma acquire an effective mass , which is given by the plasma frequency and which scales with the square root of the plasma density. As noted previous…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
