Particle Physics and Gravitational Waves as complementary windows on the Universe

Steven D. Bass, Laura Baudis, Gianfranco Bertone +16

Particle physics and gravitational waves provide complementary probes of the deep structure of the Universe. Gravitational waves from the mergers of neutron stars and black holes a…

Measuring the neutron star equation of state from EMRIs in dark matter environments with LISA

Theophanes K. Karydas, Gianfranco Bertone

Gravitational-wave observations of extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) in vacuum are largely insensitive to the internal structure of the small compact companion. We show that thi…

Dark matter mounds from the collapse of supermassive stars: a general-relativistic analysis

Roberto Caiozzo, Gianfranco Bertone, Piero Ullio +3

Recent work has highlighted the importance of a fully relativistic treatment of the dephasing of gravitational waves induced by dark-matter overdensities in extreme mass-ratio insp…

Mass and spin coevolution of black holes inspiralling through dark matter

Theophanes K. Karydas, Rodrigo Vicente, Gianfranco Bertone

In extreme/intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (E/IMRIs) embedded in dark-matter (DM) spikes, the secondary black hole can accrete collisionless particles from the surrounding halo.…

Fully Relativistic Treatment of Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals in Collisionless Environments

Rodrigo Vicente, Theophanes K. Karydas, Gianfranco Bertone

Future mHz gravitational wave (GW) interferometers will precisely probe massive black hole environments, such as accretion discs, cold dark matter overdensities, and clouds of ultr…

Legacy of boson clouds on black hole binaries

Giovanni Maria Tomaselli, Thomas F. M. Spieksma, Gianfranco Bertone

Superradiant clouds of ultralight bosons can leave an imprint on the gravitational waveform of black hole binaries through "ionization" and "resonances." We study the sequence of r…
