Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138

One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…

Instability of Reissner-Nordström black hole in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory

Yun Soo Myung, De-Cheng Zou

The scalarization of Reissner-Nordström black holes was recently proposed in the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory. Here, we show that the appearance of the scalarized Reissner-Nordst…

Gregory-Laflamme instability of black hole in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories

Yun Soo Myung, De-Cheng Zou

We investigate the stability analysis of Schwarzschild black hole in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) theory because the instability of Schwarzschild black hole without scalar h…

Black-hole stability in non-local gravity

Gianluca Calcagni, Leonardo Modesto, Yun Soo Myung

We prove that Ricci-flat vacuum exact solutions are stable under linear perturbations in a new class of weakly non-local gravitational theories finite at the quantum level.

Full Band All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the O1 LIGO Data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0e-8, +1e-9] Hz/s. Pot…

Mass-induced instability of SAdS black hole in Einstein-Ricci cubic gravity

Yun Soo Myung

We perform the stability analysis of Schwarzschild-AdS (SAdS) black hole in the Einstein-Ricci cubic gravity. It shows that the Ricci tensor perturbations exhibit unstable modes fo…
