One Membrane to Love them all: Tidal deformations of compact objects from the membrane paradigm

Michela Silvestrini, Elisa Maggio, Sumanta Chakraborty +1

The tidal deformability is a key observable to test the nature of compact objects in a binary coalescence. Within vacuum General Relativity, the tidal Love numbers of a four-dimens…

Black hole mimickers: from theory to observation

Cosimo Bambi, Ramy Brustein, Vitor Cardoso +16

The black hole paradigm, while remarkably successful, raises fundamental questions-both classical and quantum-about the nature of spacetime, horizons, and singularities. Black hole…

Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +65

The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…

Parametrized spin-precessing inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model for tests of general relativity

Lorenzo Pompili, Elisa Maggio, Hector O. Silva +1

The coalescence of binary black holes (BBHs) provides a unique arena to test general relativity (GR) in the dynamical, strong-field regime. To this end, we present pSEOBNRv5PHM, a…

The Science of the Einstein Telescope

Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485

Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…

Limits on the existence of totally reflective exotic compact objects with current and future gravitational-wave detectors

Simone Mastrogiovanni, Elisa Maggio, Adriano Frattale Mascioli

Exotic compact objects (ECOs) are a theorized class of compact objects that solve the paradoxes of black holes by replacing the event horizon with a physical surface located at $r=…
