How significant is the lensing interpretation of GW231123?
Xikai Shan, Huan Yang, Shude Mao
GW231123 is one of the most unusual gravitational-wave (GW) events, with exceptionally large inferred masses and near-extremal spins, offering an opportunity to test whether propag…
Probing Intrinsic Ellipticity in Compact Star Binaries
Zhiqiang Miao, Huan Yang
We present a novel resonance mechanism that can occur in {compact-star} binaries: a spin-orbit resonance. This resonance locks the binary into a unique state where {the spin of one…
From Stars to Waves: Stochastic Inference of Microlensed Gravitational Waves
Zhaoqi Su, Xikai Shan, Zhenwei Lyu +4
When strongly lensed gravitational waves pass through the stellar field of a lensing galaxy, they acquire additional phase and amplitude modulations from gravitational microlensing…
Spin Precession Signatures as an Indicator of Microlensing in Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves
Xikai Shan, Huan Yang, Shude Mao +1
Microlensing by the stellar field in a strong-lensing galaxy can introduce wave-optics distortions into the waveforms of strongly lensed gravitational waves (SLGWs). If these signa…
Common Envelope Evolution of Ultralight Boson Clouds
Ao Guo, Qi-Yan Zhang, Huan Yang +1
Ultralight bosons can be excited around spinning black holes via black hole superradiance. These boson clouds may play an important role in the orbital evolution of binary black ho…
Onset of Cosmic Reionization: Evidence of An Ionized Bubble Merely 680 Myrs after the Big Bang
V. Tilvi, S. Malhotra, J. E. Rhoads +14
While most of the inter-galactic medium (IGM) today is permeated by ionized hydrogen, it was largely filled with neutral hydrogen for the first 700 million years after the Big Bang…
The Galactic spiral structure as revealed by O- and early B-type stars
Chen Bingqiu, Huang Yang, Hou Ligang +7
We investigate the morphology and kinematics of the Galactic spiral structure based on a new sample of O- and early B-type stars. We select 6,858 highly confident OB star candidate…
