Probing resonant excitations in exotic compact objects via gravitational waves
arXiv:2004.05128 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.024016
Abstract
Gravitational waves (GWs) from presumed binary black hole mergers are now being detected on a regular basis with the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo interferometers. Exotic compact objects (ECOs) have been proposed that differ from Kerr black holes, and which could leave an imprint upon the GW signal in a variety of ways. Here we consider excitations of ECOs during inspiral, which may occur when the monotonically increasing GW frequency matches a resonant frequency of an exotic object. This causes orbital energy to be taken away, leading to a speed-up of the orbital phase evolution. We show that resonances with induced phase shifts radians can be detectable with second-generation interferometers, using Bayesian model selection. We apply our methodology to detections in the GWTC-1 catalog from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, finding consistency with the binary black hole nature of the sources.
