Observational Opportunities for the Fuzzball Program
Daniel R. Mayerson, Bert Vercnocke
We discuss how string theory, and in particular the "fuzzball" paradigm, has already made and can make meaningful contributions to the phenomenology of strong gravity observations.…
Fuzzball Shadows: Emergent Horizons from Microstructure
Fabio Bacchini, Daniel R. Mayerson, Bart Ripperda +4
We study the physical properties of four-dimensional, string-theoretical, horizonless "fuzzball" geometries by imaging their shadows. Their microstructure traps light rays straying…
Gravitational Waves, Holography, and Black Hole Microstates
Vasil Dimitrov, Tom Lemmens, Daniel R. Mayerson +2
Gravitational wave observations of the near-horizon region of black holes lend insight into the quantum nature of gravity. In particular, gravitational wave echoes have been identi…
Modeling and detecting resonant tides of exotic compact objects
Kwinten Fransen, Gideon Koekoek, Rob Tielemans +1
The event horizon of a black hole in general relativity absorbs all infalling radiation. Any observation of the contrary would immediately challenge the expectation that astrophysi…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
Imaging Higher Dimensional Black Objects
Thomas Hertog, Tom Lemmens, Bert Vercnocke
We develop a systematic ray-tracing method which can be used to explore a wide class of higher-dimensional multi-center black objects through the shape of their shadows. As a proof…
