Hair loss in parity violating gravity
Pratik Wagle, Nicolas Yunes, David Garfinkle +1
The recent detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO/VIRGO collaboration has allowed for the first tests of Einstein's theory in the extreme gravity regime, where the gravitatio…
On the stability of scalarized black hole solutions in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Hector O. Silva, Caio F. B. Macedo, Thomas P. Sotiriou +3
Scalar-tensor theories of gravity where a new scalar degree of freedom couples to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant can exhibit the phenomenon of spontaneous black hole scalarization. The…
Detecting Gravitational Wave Bursts with LISA in the presence of Instrumental Glitches
Travis Robson, Neil J. Cornish
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open a rich discovery space in the milli-Hertz gravitational wave band. In addition to the anticipated signals from many millions…
Binary White Dwarfs as Laboratories for Extreme Gravity with LISA
Tyson B. Littenberg, Nicolas Yunes
The observation of low-frequency gravitational waves with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna will allow the study of new sources of gravitational radiation that are not accessi…
Probing Screening and the Graviton Mass with Gravitational Waves
Scott Perkins, Nicolas Yunes
Gravitational waves can probe fundamental physics, leading to new constraints on the mass of the graviton. Previous tests, however, have neglected the effect of screening, which is…
Tests of General Relativity with GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145
The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…
Weakly-Gravitating Objects in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity and Constraints with Gravity Probe B
Yuya Nakamura, Daiki Kikuchi, Kei Yamada +2
Solar system observations have traditionally allowed for very stringent tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity. We here revisit the possibility of using these observation…
Can we probe Planckian corrections at the horizon scale with gravitational waves?
Andrea Addazi, Antonino Marciano, Nicolas Yunes
Future detectors could be used as a gravitational microscope to probe the horizon structure of merging black holes with gravitational waves. But can this microscope probe the quant…
An Entropy-Area Law for Neutron Stars Near the Black Hole Threshold
Stephon H. Alexander, Kent Yagi, Nicolas Yunes
Neutron stars exhibit a set of universal relations independent of their equation of state that bears semblance to the black hole no hair relations. Motivated by this, we analytical…
The Eccentric Behavior of Inspiraling Compact Binaries
Nicholas Loutrel, Samuel Liebersbach, Nicolas Yunes +1
Eccentricity of binary systems is not a gauge invariant quantity, but has an important impact on the observed gravitational wave signal of such systems, generating power in all pos…
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…
Frequency-domain waveform approximants capturing Doppler shifts
Katie Chamberlain, Christopher J. Moore, Davide Gerosa +1
Gravitational wave astrophysics has only just begun, and as current detectors are upgraded and new detectors are built, many new, albeit faint, features in the signals will become…
Observing the Shadows of Stellar-Mass Black Holes with Binary Companions
Harrison Gott, Dimitry Ayzenberg, Nicolas Yunes +1
The observation of the shadows cast by the event horizon of black holes on the light emitted in its neighborhood is the target of current very-long-baseline-interferometric observa…
Hidden-Sector Modifications to Gravitational Waves From Binary Inspirals
Stephon Alexander, Evan McDonough, Robert Sims +1
Gravitational wave astronomy has placed strong constraints on fundamental physics, and there is every expectation that future observations will continue to do so. In this work we q…

Hector O. Silva, Nicolás Yunes
The observation of the x-ray pulse profile emitted by hotspots on the surface of neutron stars offers a unique tool to measure the bulk properties of these objects, including their…
Mitigation of the instrumental noise transient in gravitational-wave data surrounding GW170817
Chris Pankow, Katerina Chatziioannou, Eve A. Chase +9
In the coming years gravitational-wave detectors will undergo a series of improvements, with an increase in their detection rate by about an order of magnitude. Routine detections…
Black Hole Shadow as a Test of General Relativity: Quadratic Gravity
Dimitry Ayzenberg, Nicolas Yunes
Observations of the black hole shadow of supermassive black holes, such as Sagittarius A* at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, allow us to study the properties of black holes and…
Angular Momentum Loss for a Binary System in Einstein-Æther Theory
Alexander Saffer, Nicolas Yunes
The recent gravitational wave observations provide insight into the extreme gravity regime of coalescing binaries, where gravity is strong, dynamical and non-linear. The interpreta…
