Donutization Inside Neutron Stars: Shell-Localized Scalar Fields

Hao-Jui Kuan, Alan Tsz-Lok Lam, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +1

Heavy scalar fields ( eV) in scalar-tensor gravity are expected to be hidden from neutron-star observations because their Compton wavelength is sub-stellar. We s…

Metric Reconstruction for Generic Black-Hole Perturbations

Dongjun Li, Nicolás Yunes

Standard (radiation-gauge) metric reconstruction excludes generic sources because it requires a tracefree metric perturbation. We remove this obstruction for perturbations of Petro…

Abhishek Hegade K. R., K. J. Kwon, Tejaswi Venumadhav +2

Time-dependent tidal interactions during the late inspiral of binary neutron stars encode valuable information about neutron-star structure, but systematically extending the famili…

Non-radial pulsations of gravitationally coupled two-fluid neutron stars in general relativity

Ankit Kumar, Daniel A. Caballero, Hajime Sotani +1

Non-radial oscillations of neutron stars provide a powerful probe of stellar structure and relativistic gravity, but a fully general relativistic treatment for gravitationally coup…

Beyond Three Terms: Continued Fractions for Rotating Black Holes in Modified Gravity

Georgios Karikos, Jayana A. Saes, Pratik Wagle +1

Black-hole ringdown offers a clean probe of strong gravity, but one of its most accurate tools--Leaver's continued-fraction method--requires a three-term recurrence relation. Beyon…

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.…
