The crust of dark-matter admixed neutron stars: bulk properties and torsional oscillations
Jiayi Zhang, Hector O. Silva
We study how dark matter (DM) impacts the crust and the spectrum of torsional crust oscillations of dark-matter-admixed neutron stars (DANSs). We construct two-fluid equilibrium so…
Nonradial oscillations of stratified neutron stars with solid crusts: Mode characterization and tidal resonances in coalescing binaries
Yong Gao, Hao-Jui Kuan, Cheng-Jun Xia +2
Dynamical tides of neutron stars in the late stages of binary inspirals provide a viable probe into dense matter through gravitational waves, and potentially trigger electromagneti…
Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +70
The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…
Eikonal gravitational-wave lensing in Einstein-aether theory
Julius Streibert, Hector O. Silva, Miguel Zumalacárregui
Einstein-aether theory provides a model to test the validity of local Lorentz invariance in gravitational interactions. The speed of gravitational waves as measured from the binary…
Breaking black-hole uniqueness at supermassive scales
Astrid Eichhorn, Pedro G. S. Fernandes, Aaron Held +1
In general relativity, all vacuum black holes are described by the Kerr solution. Beyond general relativity, there is a prevailing expectation that deviations from the Kerr solutio…
