The Sun's chemical peculiarity: disentangling Galactic chemical evolution and planetary engulfment in solar twins

Mia Babatsikos, Fan Liu, Amanda Karakas +5

Recent observational studies have suggested that the Sun may be chemically peculiar relative to the majority of solar twins. Here, we re-analyse high-resolution, high signal-to-noi…

A Gaussian process framework for testing general relativity with gravitational waves

Lachlan Passenger, Shun Yin Cheung, Nir Guttman +3

Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics beyond general relativity as it probes extreme curvature and ultra-relativistic dynamics.…

Are all models wrong? Falsifying binary formation models in gravitational-wave astronomy

Lachlan Passenger, Eric Thrane, Paul D. Lasky +3

As the catalogue of gravitational-wave transients grows, several entries appear "exceptional" within the population. Tipping the scales with a total mass of ,…

Is GW231123 a hierarchical merger?

Lachlan Passenger, Sharan Banagiri, Eric Thrane +4

The binary black hole merger GW231123 is both the most massive gravitational-wave event observed and has the highest component spins measured to date. The dimensionless spins of th…

A search for extra polarisations using a Gaussian process in Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalogue 3

Shun Yin Cheung, Lachlan Passenger, Paul D. Lasky +1

General relativity predicts that gravitational waves are described by two polarisation states: the plus state and cross state. However, alternate theories of gravity a…

Possible Causes of False General Relativity Violations in Gravitational Wave Observations

Anuradha Gupta, K. G. Arun, Enrico Barausse +40

General relativity (GR) has proven to be a highly successful theory of gravity since its inception. The theory has thrivingly passed numerous experimental tests, predominantly in w…
