Horizon-redshift transfer in black-hole direct-wave damping

Wen-Biao Han, Ye Jiang

Direct waves from black-hole mergers may probe horizon dynamics, but their observed envelopes need not decay at the Kerr surface-gravity rate. We compute the complex-frequency spin…

Measurability of Quadrupole Deviations from Kerr in Binary black hole Mergers

Song Li, Wen-Biao Han

We investigate the measurability of black hole quadrupole deviations from Kerr using five binary black hole mergers observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration with the beyond-g…

Long-Lived Ringing of Near-Extremal Kerr Black Holes Resonantly Driven by Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals

Wen-Biao Han

Near-extremal Kerr black holes support zero-damped modes (ZDMs), whose small time-domain damping rates make them long-lived probes of the near-horizon region. We show that bound ex…

A self-consistent EOB--Teukolsky framework for generic extreme mass-ratio inspirals

Xingyu Zhong, Wen-Biao Han, Ye Jiang +2

We present a full-relativistic waveform model for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) by self-consistently combining the effective one-body (EOB) formalism with the Teukolsky equa…

Probing Active Galactic Nuclei and Measuring the Hubble constant with Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals

Jian-Dong Liu, Wen-Biao Han, Hiromichi Tagawa

Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) carry valuable information about their surrounding astrophysical environments. Over the course of their long-term evolution, interactions betwe…

Waveforms and Fluxes of Generic Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals with a Spinning Secondary

Qiuxin Cui, Wen-Biao Han

Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), comprising a stellar-mass compact object (CO) orbiting a supermassive black hole (BH), are key targets for future space-based gravitational-wa…
