Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run

Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546

From April 10, 2024 to November 18, 2025 Advanced Virgo participated in the fourth observing run of the network of gravitational-wave detectors, together with Advanced LIGO and KAG…

Relativistic signatures of scalar dark matter in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals

Robrecht Keijzer, Simon Maenaut, Henri Inchauspé +1

We study gravitational wave emission by circular extreme-mass-ratio systems in a spherically symmetric scalar environment. Previous studies have focused on the impact of scalar rad…

Quadratic gravity corrections to scalar QNMs of rapidly rotating black holes

Stef J. B. Husken, Tom van der Steen, Simon Maenaut +6

In an effective-field-theory framework for gravity, black-hole quasinormal mode spectra acquire corrections in quadratic-curvature, scalar-tensor extensions of general relativity.…

Ringing of rapidly rotating black holes in effective field theory

Tom van der Steen, Simon Maenaut, Stef J. B. Husken +5

Within the effective field theory approach to gravity, deviations from general relativity can be systematically described by higher-curvature operators. However, computing the resu…

Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview

F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578

This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…

Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +65

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…

Ringdown Analysis of Rotating Black Holes in Effective Field Theory Extensions of General Relativity

Simon Maenaut, Gregorio Carullo, Pablo A. Cano +4

Quasinormal modes of rapidly rotating black holes were recently computed in a generic effective-field-theory extension of general relativity with higher-derivative corrections. We…

Higher-derivative corrections to the Kerr quasinormal mode spectrum

Pablo A. Cano, Lodovico Capuano, Nicola Franchini +2

We provide the most complete analysis so far of quasinormal modes of rotating black holes in a general higher-derivative extension of Einstein's theory. By finding the corrections…

Parametrized quasi-normal mode framework for modified Teukolsky equations

Pablo A. Cano, Lodovico Capuano, Nicola Franchini +2

Modifications to general relativity lead to effects in the spectrum of quasi-normal modes of black holes. In this paper, we develop a parametrized formalism to describe deviations…

Stability of Axion-Saxion wormholes

T. Hertog, S. Maenaut, B. Missoni +2

We reconsider the perturbative stability of Euclidean axion wormholes. The quadratic action that governs linear perturbations is derived directly in Euclidean gravity. We demonstra…

Quasinormal modes of rotating black holes in higher-derivative gravity

Pablo A. Cano, Kwinten Fransen, Thomas Hertog +1

We compute the spectrum of linearized gravitational excitations of black holes with substantial angular momentum in the presence of higher-derivative corrections to general relativ…

The universal Teukolsky equations and black hole perturbations in higher-derivative gravity

Pablo A. Cano, Kwinten Fransen, Thomas Hertog +1

We reduce the study of perturbations of rotating black holes in higher-derivative extensions of general relativity to a system of decoupled radial equations that stem from a set of…

Gravitational ringing of rotating black holes in higher-derivative gravity

Pablo A. Cano, Kwinten Fransen, Thomas Hertog +1

We study gravitational perturbations of slowly-rotating black holes in a general effective-field-theory extension of general relativity that includes up to eight-derivative terms.…
