Strong-Field Gravitational-Wave Lensing from Ray-Traced Arrival-Time Surfaces

Luka Vujeva, João S. Santos, Brian C. Seymour

The diffraction integral formalism has been greatly successful in describing gravitational wave lensing effects in scenarios where the wavelength of the signal is comparable to the…

Dynamics of Relativistic Binaries in Structured and Stochastic Environments: A Lagrange-Fourier-Hansen Framework

Lorenz Zwick, Conor Dyson, Brian C. Seymour +2

We develop a general framework to characterize non-vacuum perturbations to relativistic binaries in the gravitational-wave (GW) driven regime, for use in GW parameter estimation st…

Inspiral tests of general relativity and waveform geometry

Brian C. Seymour, Jacob Golomb, Yanbei Chen

The phase evolution of gravitational waves encodes critical information about the orbital dynamics of binary systems. In this work, we test the robustness of parameterized tests ag…

Prospects for High-Frequency Gravitational-Wave Detection with GEO600

Christopher M. Jungkind, Brian C. Seymour, Andrew Laeuger +1

Current ground-based interferometers are optimized for sensitivity from a few tens of Hz to about 1 kHz. While they are not currently utilized for GW detection, interferometric det…

Gravitational-wave signatures of nonviolent nonlocality

Brian C. Seymour, Yanbei Chen

Measurement of gravitational waves can provide precision tests of the nature of black holes and compact objects. In this work, we test Giddings' nonviolent nonlocality proposal, wh…

Measuring Supermassive Black Hole Properties via Gravitational Radiation from Eccentrically Orbiting Stellar Mass Black Hole Binaries

Andrew Laeuger, Brian Seymour, Yanbei Chen +1

There may exist stellar-mass binary black holes (BBH) which merge while orbiting nearby a supermassive black hole (SMBH). In such a triple system, the SMBH will modulate the gravit…

Multiband Gravitational Wave Cosmography with Dark Sirens

Brian C. Seymour, Hang Yu, Yanbei Chen

Gravitational waves might help resolve the tension between early and late Universe measurements of the Hubble constant, and this possibility can be enhanced with a gravitational wa…

Uncertainty and bias of cosmology and astrophysical population model from statistical dark sirens

Hang Yu, Brian Seymour, Yijun Wang +1

Gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from a coalescing compact binary is a standard siren as the luminosity distance of each event can be directly measured from the amplitude of the s…

Detecting gravitational lensing in hierarchical triples in galactic nuclei with space-borne gravitational-wave observatories

Hang Yu, Yijun Wang, Brian Seymour +1

Stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) may merge in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). It is suggested that the gravitational-wave (GW) emitted by a BBH has a high p…

Probing Massive Scalar/Vector Fields with Binary Pulsars

Brian C. Seymour, Kent Yagi

Precision tests of general relativity can be conducted by observing binary pulsars. Theories with massive fields exist to explain a variety of phenomena from dark energy to the str…

Probing Massive Scalar Fields from a Pulsar in a Stellar Triple System

Brian C. Seymour, Kent Yagi

Pulsar timing observations precisely test general relativity. Recently, the hierarchical triple system PSR J0337+1715 has placed new constraints on the existence of a fifth force f…

Future Prospects for Probing Scalar-Tensor Theories with Gravitational Waves from Mixed Binaries

Zack Carson, Brian C. Seymour, Kent Yagi

The extreme-gravity collisions of binaries with one black hole and one neutron star provide for excellent tests of general relativity. We here study how well one can constrain theo…

Testing General Relativity with Black Hole-Pulsar Binaries

Brian C. Seymour, Kent Yagi

Binary pulsars allow us to carry out precision tests of gravity and have placed stringent bounds on a broad class of theories beyond general relativity. Current and future radio te…
