New model of spontaneous scalarization of black holes induced by curvature and matter

Zakaria Belkhadria, Salvatore Mignemi

We propose a new model of black hole spontaneous scalarization that combines a scalar--Gauss--Bonnet interaction with a non--minimal coupling to a U(1) gauge field (a dark photon o…

Two sides of the same coin: the F-statistic and the 5-vector method

L. D'Onofrio, P. Astone, S. Dal Pra +9

This work explores the relationship between two data-analysis methods used in the search for continuous gravitational waves in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data: the -statistic an…

Toward a computationally-efficient follow-up pipeline for blind continuous gravitational-wave searches

Lorenzo Mirasola, Rodrigo Tenorio

The sensitivity of continuous gravitational-wave (CW) searches for unknown neutron stars (NSs) is limited by their parameter space breadth. To fit within reasonable computing budge…

New semicoherent targeted search for continuous gravitational waves from pulsars in binary systems

Lorenzo Mirasola, Paola Leaci, Pia Astone +8

We present a novel semicoherent targeted search method for continuous gravitational waves (CWs) emitted by pulsars in binary systems. The method is based on a custom optimization o…

Mixed scalarization of charged black holes: from spontaneous to non-linear scalarization

Zakaria Belkhadria, Alexandre M. Pombo

Scalarized black holes (BH) have been shown to form dynamically in extended-scalar-tensor theories, either through spontaneous scalarization -- when the BH is unstable against line…

Quasi-local masses and cosmological coupling of black holes and mimickers

Mariano Cadoni, Riccardo Murgia, Mirko Pitzalis +1

Motivated by the recent heated debate on whether the masses of local objects, such as compact stars or black holes (BHs), may be affected by the large-scale, cosmological dynamics,…

Practical approaches to analyzing PTA data: Cosmic strings with six pulsars

Hippolyte Quelquejay Leclere, Pierre Auclair, Stanislav Babak +69

We search for a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) generated by a network of cosmic strings using six millisecond pulsars from Data Release 2 (DR2) of the European Pul…

Cosmological coupling of nonsingular black holes

M. Cadoni, A. P. Sanna, M. Pitzalis +4

We show that -- in the framework of general relativity (GR) -- if black holes (BHs) are singularity-free objects, they couple to the large-scale cosmological dynamics. We find that…

Are nonsingular black holes with super-Planckian hair ruled out by S2 star data?

M. Cadoni, M. De Laurentis, I. De Martino +3

We propose a novel nonsingular black-hole spacetime representing a strong deformation of the Schwarzschild solution with mass by an additional hair , which may be hierarc…

Noncommutative Yang model and its generalizations

S. Meljanac, S. Mignemi

Long time ago, C.N. Yang proposed a model of noncommutative spacetime that generalized the Snyder model to a curved background. In this paper we review his proposal and the general…
