Key Science Goals for the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope
Michael D. Johnson, Kazunori Akiyama, Lindy Blackburn +42
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has led to the first images of a supermassive black hole, revealing the central compact objects in the elliptical galaxy M87 and the Milky Way. Pr…
Drifting through the medium: kicks and self-propulsion of binaries within accretion disks and other environments
Vitor Cardoso, Caio F. B. Macedo
Compact binaries are within the reach of gravitational and electromagnetic wave detectors, and are important for our understanding of astrophysical environments and the composition…
Stirred and shaken: dynamical behavior of boson stars and dark matter cores
Lorenzo Annulli, Vitor Cardoso, Rodrigo Vicente
Bosonic fields can give rise to self-gravitating structures. These are interesting hypothetical new "dark matter stars" and good descriptions of dark matter haloes if the fields ar…
The hole picture
Vitor Cardoso
Because of the very definition of black holes --- no light escapes them and falling objects get infinitely faint when approaching --- it is impossible to ever prove that they exist…
Constraints on the astrophysical environment of binaries with gravitational-wave observations
Vitor Cardoso, Andrea Maselli
The dynamics of coalescing compact binaries can be affected by the environment in which the systems evolve, leaving detectable signatures into the emitted gravitational signal. In…
Probing the Nature of Black Holes: Deep in the mHz Gravitational-Wave Sky
Vishal Baibhav, Leor Barack, Emanuele Berti +26
Black holes are unique among astrophysical sources: they are the simplest macroscopic objects in the Universe, and they are extraordinary in terms of their ability to convert energ…
