Non-linear tides and Gauss-Bonnet scalarization
Lorenzo Annulli, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro
In linear perturbation theory, a static perturber in the vicinity of a Schwarzschild black hole (BH) enhances [suppresses] the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) curvature invariant, $\mathcal{R}_{…
Spin-induced scalarization and magnetic fields
Lorenzo Annulli, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
In the presence of certain non-minimal couplings between a scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet curvature invariant, Kerr black holes can scalarize, as long as they are spinning fast…
Challenging theories of gravitation: dark matter, compact objects and gravitational waves
Lorenzo Annulli
The most accurate model to describe the gravitational interaction is the well-known theory of General Relativity. Several observational evidences corroborate the legitimacy of the…
CLAP for modified gravity: scalar instabilities in binary black hole spacetimes
Lorenzo Annulli
The close limit approximation of binary black hole is a powerful method to study gravitational-wave emission from highly non-linear geometries. In this work, we use it as a tool to…
Applications of the close-limit approximation: horizonless compact objects and scalar fields
Lorenzo Annulli, Vitor Cardoso, Leonardo Gualtieri
The ability to model the evolution of compact binaries from the inspiral to coalescence is central to gravitational wave astronomy. Current waveform catalogues are built from vacuu…
The response of ultralight dark matter to supermassive black holes and binaries
Lorenzo Annulli, Vitor Cardoso, Rodrigo Vicente
Scalar fields can give rise to confined structures, such as boson stars or Q-balls. These objects are interesting hypothetical new "dark matter stars," but also good descriptions o…
Stirred and shaken: dynamical behavior of boson stars and dark matter cores
Lorenzo Annulli, Vitor Cardoso, Rodrigo Vicente
Bosonic fields can give rise to self-gravitating structures. These are interesting hypothetical new "dark matter stars" and good descriptions of dark matter haloes if the fields ar…
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…
Electromagnetism and hidden vector fields in modified gravity theories: spontaneous and induced vectorization
Lorenzo Annulli, Vitor Cardoso, Leonardo Gualtieri
In general relativity, Maxwell's equations are embedded in curved spacetime through the minimal prescription, but this could change if strong-gravity modifications are present. We…
Scattering of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational waves from binary systems
Lorenzo Annulli, Laura Bernard, Diego Blas +1
The direct detection of gravitational waves crowns decades of efforts in the modelling of sources and of increasing detectors' sensitivity. With future third-generation Earth-based…
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-…
