Black Hole Mergers as the Fastest Photon Ring Scramblers

D. Giataganas, G. F. Giudice, A. Ianniccari +5

Black holes are the most efficient scramblers in nature. By mapping the instantaneous mass and angular momentum of two spinless black holes in a quasi-circular binary onto those of…

Understanding the Nature of Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves

A. J. Iovino, G. Perna, D. Perrone +2

We offer a physical interpretation of the origin of the scalar-induced gravitational wave background, showing that it is mainly produced around the peaks of the scalar perturbation…

Primordial black hole ringdown: The irreducible stochastic gravitational wave background

Valerio De Luca, Antonio J. Iovino, Antonio Riotto

Independently from the formation mechanism of primordial black holes in the early Universe, their generation is accompanied by a ringdown phase during which they relax to a station…

From new physics to a running power law and back again: Minimal refitting techniques for the reconstruction of the gravitational-wave background signal in pulsar timing array data

David Esmyol, Antonio J. Iovino, Kai Schmitz

Pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently presented evidence for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) signal at nanohertz frequencies. In this paper, we introduce new refi…

Fractional attractors in light of the latest ACT observations

Christian Dioguardi, Antonio J. Iovino, Antonio Racioppi

In light of the latest results from ACT observations we review a class of potentials labeled as fractional attractors, that can originate from Palatini gravity. We show that, for c…

Deciphering the Instability of the Black Hole Ringdown Quasinormal Spectrum

A. Ianniccari, A. J. Iovino, A. Kehagias +4

The spectrum of the quasinormal modes of the gravitational waves emitted during the ringdown phase following the merger of two black holes is of primary importance in gravitational…
