Tidal Love Numbers of Kerr Black Holes
Alexandre Le Tiec, Marc Casals, Edgardo Franzin
The open question of whether a Kerr black hole can become tidally deformed or not has profound implications for fundamental physics and gravitational-wave astronomy. We consider a…
Spinning Black Holes Fall in Love
Alexandre Le Tiec, Marc Casals
The open question of whether a black hole can become tidally deformed by an external gravitational field has profound implications for fundamental physics, astrophysics and gravita…
SAGE: using CubeSats for Gravitational Wave Detection
S. Lacour, M. Nowak, P. Bourget +7
SAGE (SagnAc interferometer for Gravitational wavE) is a fast track project for a space observatory based on multiple 12-U CubeSats in geostationary orbit. The objective of this pr…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
