Tests of general relativity in the nonlinear regime: a parametrized plunge-merger-ringdown gravitational waveform model
Elisa Maggio, Hector O. Silva, Alessandra Buonanno +1
The plunge-merger stage of the binary-black hole coalescence, when the bodies' velocities reach a large fraction of the speed of light and the gravitational-wave luminosity peaks,…
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.…
On the instability of ultracompact horizonless spacetimes
Zhen Zhong, Vitor Cardoso, Elisa Maggio
Motivated by recent results reporting the instability of horizonless objects with stable light rings, we revisit the linearized stability of such structures. In particular, we cons…
New Horizons for Fundamental Physics with LISA
K. G. Arun, Enis Belgacem, Robert Benkel +138
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has the potential to reveal wonders about the fundamental theory of nature at play in the extreme gravity regime, where the gravitatio…
Implications of the quantum nature of the black hole horizon on the gravitational-wave ringdown
Sumanta Chakraborty, Elisa Maggio, Anupam Mazumdar +1
Motivated by capturing putative quantum effects at the horizon scale, we model the black hole horizon as a membrane with fluctuations following a Gaussian profile. By extending the…
