Inspiral-Transition-Plunge Gravitational Waveforms Beyond Kerr: A Kerr-Newman Case Study

Daiki Watarai, Kent Yagi, Shammi Tahura

Binary black hole mergers with asymmetric component masses are key targets for both third-generation ground-based and future space-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, offering…

Gravitational-wave memory effects in the Damour-Esposito-Farèse extension of Brans-Dicke theory

Shammi Tahura, David A. Nichols, Kent Yagi

Gravitational-wave memory effects are lasting changes in the strain and its time integrals. They can be computed in asymptotically flat spacetimes using the conservation and evolut…

Vacuum Spacetime With Multipole Moments: The Minimal Size Conjecture, Black Hole Shadow, and Gravitational Wave Observables

Shammi Tahura, Hassan Khalvati, Huan Yang

In this work, we explicitly construct the vacuum solution of Einstein's equations with prescribed multipole moments. By observing the behavior of the multipole spacetime metric at…

Gravitational-wave energy and other fluxes in ghost-free bigravity

Alexander M. Grant, Alexander Saffer, Leo C. Stein +1

One of the key ingredients for making binary waveform predictions in a beyond-GR theory of gravity is understanding the energy and angular momentum carried by gravitational waves a…

Gravitational-wave memory effects in Brans-Dicke theory: Waveforms and effects in the post-Newtonian approximation

Shammi Tahura, David A. Nichols, Kent Yagi

Gravitational-wave (GW) memory effects produce permanent shifts in the GW strain and its time integrals after the passage of a burst of GWs. Their presence is closely tied to symme…

Brans-Dicke theory in Bondi-Sachs form: Asymptotically flat solutions, asymptotic symmetries and gravitational-wave memory effects

Shammi Tahura, David A. Nichols, Alexander Saffer +2

Gravitational-wave memory effects are identified by their distinctive effects on families of freely falling observers: after a burst of waves pass by their locations, memory effect…

Probing Compactified Extra Dimensions with Gravitational Waves

Yuchen Du, Shammi Tahura, Diana Vaman +1

We study the effect of compact extra dimensions on the gravitational wave luminosity and waveform. We consider a toy model, with a compactified fifth dimension, and matter confined…

Testing Gravity with Gravitational Waves from Binary Black Hole Mergers: Contributions from Amplitude Corrections

Shammi Tahura, Kent Yagi, Zack Carson

The detection of gravitational waves has offered us the opportunity to explore the dynamical and strong-field regime of gravity. Because matched filtering is more sensitive to vari…
