Gravitational Waves from Accretion Disks: Turbulence, Mode Excitation and Prospects for Future Detectors

Chen Yuan, Vitor Cardoso, Francisco Duque +1

We study gravitational-wave emission by turbulent flows in accretion disks around spinning black holes or neutron stars. We aim to understand how turbulence can stochastically exci…

Einstein Cluster as Central Spiky Distribution of Galactic Dark Matter

Kei-ichi Maeda, Vitor Cardoso, Anzhong Wang

Using the Einstein cluster models, we construct a fully relativistic, spherically symmetric, spiky structure of matter distribution near a supermassive black hole. We introduce and…

Forward Ray Tracing and Hot Spots in Kerr Spacetime

Lihang Zhou, Zhen Zhong, Yifan Chen +1

Hotspots, often characterized as pointlike emissions, frequently appear near black holes with significantly enhanced luminosity compared to the surrounding accretion flow. Notably,…

Black holes, multiple propagation speeds, and energy extraction

Vitor Cardoso, Shinji Mukohyama, Naritaka Oshita +1

The Standard Model of particle physics predicts the speed of light to be a universal speed of propagation of massless carriers. However, other possibilities exist -- including Lore…

Radiation reaction in weakly magnetized black holes: can the tail term be ignored in the strong field regime?

João S. Santos, Vitor Cardoso, José Natário

We study radiation from charged particles in circular motion around a Schwarzschild black hole immersed in an asymptotically uniform magnetic field. In curved space, the radiation…

On the physical significance of black hole quasinormal mode spectra instability

Vitor Cardoso, Shilpa Kastha, Rodrigo Panosso Macedo

It has been shown, via specific examples and a pseudospectrum analysis, that the black hole quasinormal spectra are unstable. The implication of such a result for gravitational-wav…
