Periodic Gravitational Lensing with Oscillating Boson Stars

Xing-Yu Yang, Tan Chen, Rong-Gen Cai

We show that oscillating (real-scalar) boson stars generically host an \emph{oscillating radial caustic}. Sources near this caustic cross it every half period, thereby producing pe…

Detecting the dark sector through scalar-induced gravitational waves

Xiao-Bin Sui, Jing Liu, Xing-Yu Yang +1

We investigate the evolution of cosmological scalar perturbations in the case that the background radiation is weakly coupled to a light scalar field . The light scalar is a…

Gravitational wave probes on self-interacting dark matter surrounding an intermediate mass black hole

Kenji Kadota, Jeong Han Kim, Pyungwon Ko +1

The presence of dark matter overdensities surrounding a black hole can influence the evolution of a binary system. The gravitational wave signals emitted by a black hole binary off…

Gravitational microlensing by dressed primordial black holes

Rong-Gen Cai, Tan Chen, Shao-Jiang Wang +1

The accretion of dark matter around the primordial black holes (PBHs) could lead to the formation of surrounding minihalos, whose mass can be several orders of magnitude higher tha…
