Updated estimates of post-merger gravitational wave energy released in GW170817 and the maximum neutron star mass
Yong Chen, Bo Gao, Yong-Jia Huang +2
In this work, benefiting from the increased sample of neutron stars with measured masses and radii as well as the incorporation of the chiral effective field theory and perturbativ…
Population-Level Verification of the Black-Hole Area Law with First- and Second-Generation Black Holes
Shao-Peng Tang, Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Zhong Fan
Hawking's area theorem states that the total event-horizon area of classical black holes can never decrease. Gravitational-wave tests of this law have so far focused on individual…
Bekenstein--Hod Bound: A Confirmation from GW250114
Hai-Tian Wang, Shao-Peng Tang, Yi-Zhong Fan
Black holes link gravity, thermodynamics and information via limits on the relaxation rate of a perturbed system. The Bekenstein-Hod bound imposes a minimum relaxation time at fixe…
Smoking-gun evidence for hierarchical black-hole mergers
Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Shao-Peng Tang +1
How stellar-mass black holes grow after their birth is a central open question in astrophysics. Gravitational-wave observations have revealed a subpopulation of coalescing black ho…
Neutron Star Observations Challenge a Large Colour-Superconducting Gap in Dense Quark Matter
Shao-Peng Tang, Yong-Jia Huang, Yi-Zhong Fan
At asymptotically high density, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that quark matter becomes a colour superconductor in the colour-flavour-locked (CFL) phase, yet, away from the…
The Non-parametric Equation of State Realizes a Generalized Quark-Hadron Crossover
Yong-Jia Huang, Shao-Peng Tang, Yi-Zhong Fan
We propose a non-parametric approach to construct the statistical equation of state (EOS) continuously from the nuclear crust to the asymptotic-freedom regime. The combined require…
Secondary-Mass Features improve Spectral-Siren Constraints
Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Ying Wang, Yuan-Zhu Wang +2
Gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) enable independent measurements of the Hubble constant \(H_0\) via the spectral siren method, which critical…
Neutron Star Merger Rates from Multi-messenger Observations: Clues to the Physical Origin of the Short and Long-short Gamma-ray Bursts
Zhi-Ping Jin, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Yin-Jie Li +4
Short and long-short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are widely believed to be powered by neutron star mergers. In this work, we calculate local rate of such GRBs and find a relatively hig…
