Probing new physics on the horizon of black holes with gravitational waves

Elisa Maggio

Black holes are the most compact objects in the Universe. According to general relativity, black holes have a horizon that hides a singularity where Einstein's theory breaks down.…

How does a dark compact object ringdown?

Elisa Maggio, Luca Buoninfante, Anupam Mazumdar +1

A generic feature of nearly out-of-equilibrium dissipative systems is that they resonate through a set of quasinormal modes. Black holes - the absorbing objects par excellence - 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…

Analytical model for gravitational-wave echoes from spinning remnants

Elisa Maggio, Adriano Testa, Swetha Bhagwat +1

Gravitational-wave echoes in the post-merger signal of a binary coalescence are predicted in various scenarios, including near-horizon quantum structures, exotic states of matter i…

Ergoregion instability of exotic compact objects: electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations and the role of absorption

Elisa Maggio, Vitor Cardoso, Sam R. Dolan +1

Spinning horizonless compact objects may be unstable against an 'ergoregion instability'. We investigate this mechanism for electromagnetic perturbations of ultracompact Kerr-like…

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-…
