Spectroscopy of binary black hole ringdown using overtones and angular modes

Xisco Jiménez Forteza, Swetha Bhagwat, Paolo Pani +1

The black hole uniqueness and the no-hair theorems imply that the quasinormal spectrum of any astrophysical black hole is determined solely by its mass and spin. The countably infi…

Distinguishing double neutron star from neutron star-black hole binary populations with gravitational wave observations

Margherita Fasano, Kaze W. K. Wong, Andrea Maselli +3

Gravitational waves from the merger of two neutron stars cannot be easily distinguished from those produced by a comparable-mass mixed binary in which one of the companions is a bl…

Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA

Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318

In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…

Ringdown overtones, black hole spectroscopy, and no-hair theorem tests

Swetha Bhagwat, Xisco Jimenez Forteza, Paolo Pani +1

Validating the black-hole no-hair theorem with gravitational-wave observations of compact binary coalescences provides a compelling argument that the remnant object is indeed a bla…

A new method to constrain neutron star structure from quasi-periodic oscillations

Andrea Maselli, George Pappas, Paolo Pani +4

We develop a new method to measure neutron star parameters and derive constraints on the equation of state of dense matter by fitting the frequencies of simultaneous Quasi Periodic…

Constraining the neutron star equation of state using multi-band independent measurements of radii and tidal deformabilities

Margherita Fasano, Tiziano Abdelsalhin, Andrea Maselli +1

Using a Bayesian approach, we combine measurements of neutron star macroscopic observables obtained by astrophysical and gravitational observations, to derive joint constraints on…
