Dancing above the abyss: Environmental effects and dark matter signatures in inspirals into massive black holes
Niklas Becker
In this dissertation, we look at environmental effects in extreme and intermediate mass ratio inspirals into massive black holes. In these systems, stellar mass compact objects orb…
Post-Newtonian effects in compact binaries with a dark matter spike: A Lagrangian approach
Diego Montalvo, Adam Smith-Orlik, Saeed Rastgoo +3
We apply the Lagrangian method to study the post-Newtonian evolution of a compact binary system with environmental effects, including a dark matter spike, and obtain the resulting…
Tidal Deformability of Fermion-Boson Stars: Neutron Stars Admixed with Ultra-Light Dark Matter
Robin Fynn Diedrichs, Niklas Becker, Cédric Jockel +3
In this work we investigate the tidal deformability of a neutron star admixed with dark matter, modeled as a massive, self-interacting, complex scalar field. We derive the equation…
Comparing Accretion Disks and Dark Matter Spikes in Intermediate Mass Ratio Inspirals
Niklas Becker, Laura Sagunski
Intermediate Mass Ratio Inspirals (IMRIs) will be observable with space-based gravitational wave detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). To this end, the e…
Circularization vs. Eccentrification in Intermediate Mass Ratio Inspirals inside Dark Matter Spikes
Niklas Becker, Laura Sagunski, Lukas Prinz +1
Inspirals of an Intermediate Mass Black Hole (IMBH) and a solar mass type object will be observable by space based gravitational wave detectors such as The Laser Interferometer Spa…
