Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA

Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318

In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…

Bounding Alternative Theories of Gravity with Multi-Band GW Observations

Giuseppe Gnocchi, Andrea Maselli, Tiziano Abdelsalhin +2

We study the constraints on alternative theories of gravity that can be determined by multi-band observations of gravitational wave signals emitted from binary black hole coalescen…

Tidal deformations of compact objects and gravitational wave emission

Tiziano Abdelsalhin

Observations of gravitational wave (GW) signals produced by coalescing binary neutron stars (NS), like the GW event GW170817, can be exploited to constrain the equation of state (E…

Constraining the neutron star equation of state using multi-band independent measurements of radii and tidal deformabilities

Margherita Fasano, Tiziano Abdelsalhin, Andrea Maselli +1

Using a Bayesian approach, we combine measurements of neutron star macroscopic observables obtained by astrophysical and gravitational observations, to derive joint constraints on…

From micro to macro and back: probing near-horizon quantum structures with gravitational waves

Andrea Maselli, Paolo Pani, Vitor Cardoso +3

Supermassive binaries detectable by the future space gravitational-wave interferometer LISA might allow to distinguish black holes from ultracompact horizonless objects, even when…

Magnetic tidal Love numbers clarified

Paolo Pani, Leonardo Gualtieri, Tiziano Abdelsalhin +1

In this brief note, we clarify certain aspects related to the magnetic (i.e., odd parity or axial) tidal Love numbers of a star in general relativity. Magnetic tidal deformations o…

Impact of high-order tidal terms on binary neutron-star waveforms

Xisco Jimenez-Forteza, Tiziano Abdelsalhin, Paolo Pani +1

GW170817, the milestone gravitational-wave event originated from a binary neutron star merger, has allowed scientific community to place a constraint on the equation of state of ne…

Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap

Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203

The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…

Post-Newtonian spin-tidal couplings for compact binaries

Tiziano Abdelsalhin, Leonardo Gualtieri, Paolo Pani

We compute the spin-tidal couplings that affect the dynamics of two orbiting bodies at the leading order in the post-Newtonian (PN) framework and to linear order in the spin. These…

Solving the relativistic inverse stellar problem through gravitational waves observation of binary neutron stars

Tiziano Abdelsalhin, Andrea Maselli, Valeria Ferrari

The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has recently announced the direct detection of gravitational waves emitted in the coalescence of a neutron star binary. This discovery allows, for the…

Probing Planckian corrections at the horizon scale with LISA binaries

Andrea Maselli, Paolo Pani, Vitor Cardoso +3

Several quantum-gravity models of compact objects predict microscopic or even Planckian corrections at the horizon scale. We explore the possibility of measuring two model-independ…
