Probing the Formation Environment of Strongly Lensed Black Hole Mergers: Implications for the AGN-disk Channel
Johan Samsing, Lorenz Zwick, Pankaj Saini +1
The observation of multiple images from a strongly lensed gravitational wave (GW) source provides the observer with a stereoscopic view of the source. This allows for a measure of…
Gravitational Wave Phase shifts of black hole mergers in AGN Disks
Hiromichi Tagawa, Connar Rowan, János Takátsy +4
Ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors have discovered about 200 compact object mergers. The astrophysical origins of these events are highly debated, and it is possible th…
Environmental effects in stellar mass gravitational wave sources II: Enhanced detectability of phase shifts in eccentric sub-populations
Lorenz Zwick, Kai Hendriks, Pankaj Saini +4
We demonstrate that the properties of eccentric gravitational wave (GW) signals enhance the detectability of GW phase shifts caused by environmental effects (EEs): The signal-to-no…
Amplified capture rate of dark matter in compact binaries and constraints on bosonic dark matter from GW170817
János Takátsy, Lorenz Zwick, David O'Neill +1
The accretion of dark matter (DM) onto compact objects and the potential gravitational collapse of neutron stars due to this accretion has become a promising indirect probe of DM p…
Importance of relativistic pericenter precession in identifying the presence of a third body near eccentric binaries
Pankaj Saini, Lorenz Zwick, János Takátsy +5
Many astrophysical processes can produce gravitational wave (GW) sources with significant orbital eccentricity. These binaries emit bursts of gravitational radiation during each pe…
Little Red Dots as self-gravitating discs accreting on supermassive stars: Spectral appearance and formation pathway of the progenitors to direct collapse black holes
Lorenz Zwick, Christopher Tiede, Lucio Mayer
We propose an alternative physical interpretation and formation pathway for the recently discovered "little red dots" (LRDs). We model LRDs as super-massive stars (SMSs) surrounded…
Dissecting environmental effects with eccentric gravitational wave sources
Lorenz Zwick, Kai Hendriks, David O'Neill +6
We model the effect of resonances between time-varying perturbative forces and the epi-cyclical motion of eccentric binaries in the gravitational wave (GW) driven regime. These ind…
Distinguishing the Origin of Eccentric Black Hole Mergers with Gravitational-wave Spin Measurements
Jakob Stegmann, Davide Gerosa, Isobel Romero-Shaw +3
It remains an open question whether the binary black hole mergers observed with gravitational-wave detectors originate from the evolution of isolated massive binary stars or were d…
The construction and use of dephasing prescriptions for environmental effects in gravitational wave astronomy
János Takátsy, Lorenz Zwick, Kai Hendriks +3
In the first part of this work, we provide a curated overview of the theoretical framework necessary for incorporating dephasing due to environmental effects (EE) in gravitational…
Environmental effects in stellar mass gravitational wave sources I: Expected fraction of signals with significant dephasing in the dynamical and AGN channels
Lorenz Zwick, János Takátsy, Pankaj Saini +5
We present the first overview of the expected quantity of signals which will showcase significant gravitational wave phase shifts caused by astrophysical environments, considering…
The Proper Motion of Strongly Lensed Binary Neutron Star Mergers in LIGO/Virgo/Kagra can be Constrained by Measuring Doppler Induced Gravitational Wave Dephasing
Lorenz Zwick, Johan Samsing
Strongly lensed binary neutron star (NS-NS) mergers are expected to be observed once LIGO/Virgo/Kagra reaches the planned A+ or proposed A\# sensitivity. We demonstrate that the re…
Constraining Proper Motion of Strongly Lensed Eccentric Binary Mergers using Doppler Triangulation
Johan Samsing, Lorenz Zwick, Pankaj Saini +5
Strong lensing of gravitational wave (GW) sources allows the observer to see the GW source from different lines-of-sight (LOS) through the corresponding images, which provides a wa…
Stellar Stripping and Disruption in Disks around Supermassive Black Hole Binaries: Repeating nuclear transients prior to LISA events
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Christopher Tiede, Lorenz Zwick +2
If supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are driven together by gas disks in galactic nuclei, then a surrounding nuclear star cluster or in-situ star-formation should deliver s…
