Making light of gravitational-waves
Justine Tarrant, Geoff Beck, Sergio Colafrancesco
Mixing between photons and low-mass bosons is well considered in the literature. The particular case of interest here is with hypothetical gravitons, as we are concerned with the d…
Probing quantum gravity using high-energy astrophysics
Justine Tarrant, Geoff Beck, Sergio Colafrancesco
The events observed by LIGO indicate the existence of a large population of intermediate mass black holes. This unexpected result lead to a resurgence in the interest in theories o…
Probing quantum gravity at low energies
Justine Tarrant, Geoff Beck, Sergio Colafrancesco
Planck stars form when a collapsing shell of matter within a black hole reaches the Planck density, roughly equivalent to the mass being compressed into a volumetric size near that…
Using Gravitational Wave Observations to Probe Quantum Gravity
Justine Tarrant, Sergio Colafrancesco
Electromagnetic radiation is known to be associated with certain gravitational waves events, i.e. the collision of binary neutron stars. Establishing this connection is non-trivial…
