Scattering perspective on gravitational lensing

Mariana Carrillo Gonzalez, Valerio De Luca, Alice Garoffolo +2

Gravitational waves propagating across gravitational potentials undergo lensing effects that, in the wave-optics regime, manifest as frequency-dependent amplitude and phase modulat…

Dynamical Love numbers of black holes: Theory and gravitational waveforms

Sumanta Chakraborty, Valerio De Luca, Leonardo Gualtieri +1

In General Relativity, the static tidal Love numbers of black holes vanish identically. Whether this remains true for time-dependent tidal fields -- i.e., in the case of dynamical…

Primordial black hole ringdown: The irreducible stochastic gravitational wave background

Valerio De Luca, Antonio J. Iovino, Antonio Riotto

Independently from the formation mechanism of primordial black holes in the early Universe, their generation is accompanied by a ringdown phase during which they relax to a station…

Systematic biases from ignoring environmental tidal effects in gravitational wave observations

Valerio De Luca, Loris Del Grosso, Francesco Iacovelli +2

Binary black hole systems are typically assumed to evolve in vacuum. However, the environment surrounding the binary components can influence their properties, such as their tidal…

Gravitational memory and Ward identities in the local detector frame

Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong

Gravitational memory, which describes the permanent shift in the strain after the passage of gravitational waves, is directly related to Weinberg's soft graviton theorems and the B…

Tidal Love numbers of analogue black holes

Valerio De Luca, Brandon Khek, Justin Khoury +1

Tidal Love numbers quantify the conservative static response of compact objects to external tidal fields, and are found to vanish exactly for asymptotically flat black holes in fou…
