Ultralight Bosons Explain the Mass-Spin Correlations in the Merging Binary Black Hole Population
Xiao-Xiao Kou, Vuk Mandic, Ran Ding +1
Ultralight bosons could trigger superradiant instabilities in rapidly spinning black holes, forming oscillating clouds while extracting rotational energy. We consider an extended,…

Gravitational Waves from Fully General Relativistic Oscillon Preheating
Xiao-Xiao Kou, James B. Mertens, Chi Tian +1
As long-lived quasi-solitons from the fragmentation of a scalar condensate, oscillons may dominate the preheating era after inflation. During this period, stochastic gravitational…

Oscillon Preheating in Full General Relativity
Xiao-Xiao Kou, Chi Tian, Shuang-Yong Zhou
Oscillons are dense objects that may be copiously produced in the preheating period after inflation, during which what role general relativity might play is largely unknown. We inv…
