Testing the strong equivalence principle with multimessenger binary neutron star mergers

Jie Zhu, Hanlin Song, Zhenwei Lyu +5

The constancy of the gravitational constant is a cornerstone of the strong equivalence principle and of general relativity, yet its possible temporal variation remains a key ta…

From Stars to Waves: Stochastic Inference of Microlensed Gravitational Waves

Zhaoqi Su, Xikai Shan, Zhenwei Lyu +4

When strongly lensed gravitational waves pass through the stellar field of a lensing galaxy, they acquire additional phase and amplitude modulations from gravitational microlensing…

Science Opportunities of Wet Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals

Zhenwei Lyu, Zhen Pan, Junjie Mao +2

Wet extreme mass-ratio inspirals (wet EMRIs), which arise from stellar-mass black holes inspiral into supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the gas-rich environments of Active Ga…

Mass-gap extreme mass ratio inspirals

Zhen Pan, Zhenwei Lyu, Huan Yang

In this work, we propose a new subclass of extreme-mass-ratio-inspirals (EMRIs): mass-gap EMRIs, consisting of a compact object in the lower mass gap and a m…

First Constraints on Nuclear Coupling of Axionlike Particles from the Binary Neutron Star Gravitational Wave Event GW170817

Jun Zhang, Zhenwei Lyu, Junwu Huang +4

Light axion fields, if they exist, can be sourced by neutron stars due to their coupling to nuclear matter, and play a role in binary neutron star mergers. We report on a search fo…

Black-Hole Perturbation Plus Post-Newtonian Theory: Hybrid Waveform for Neutron Star Binaries

Xuefeng Feng, Zhenwei Lyu, Huan Yang

We consider the motion of nonspinning, compact objects orbiting around a Kerr black hole with tidal couplings. The tide-induced quadrupole moment modifies both the orbital energy a…

Wet Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals May Be More Common For Spaceborne Gravitational Wave Detection

Zhen Pan, Zhenwei Lyu, Huan Yang

Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) can be classified as dry EMRIs and wet EMRIs based on their formation mechanisms. Dry (or the "loss-cone") EMRIs, previously considered as the…

Probing Crust Meltdown in Inspiraling Binary Neutron Stars

Zhen Pan, Zhenwei Lyu, Béatrice Bonga +2

Thanks to recent measurements of tidal deformability and radius, the nuclear equation of state and structure of neutron stars are now better understood. Here, we show that through…
