Dynamical Tidal Response of Neutron Stars: from Effective Field Theory to Gravitational Waveforms
Thomas Apostolidis, Valerio De Luca, Leonardo Gualtieri +3
We investigate the fully relativistic dynamical tidal response of neutron stars up to second order in the frequency. Combining the worldline effective field theory for extended gra…
Gravitational electric-magnetic duality at the light ring and quasinormal mode isospectrality in effective field theories
Ibrahima Bah, Emanuele Berti, Valerio De Luca +2
Black hole perturbations are characterized by a superposition of damped exponentials known as quasinormal modes. In general relativity, the spectra of parity-even and parity-odd qu…
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…
Uncovering the population of compact binary mergers and their formation pathways with gravitational waves through the Einstein Telescope
M. Arca-Sedda, I. Dvorkin, G. Franciolini +19
Ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories have transformed our view of compact-object mergers, yet their reach still limits a comprehensive reconstruction of the processes…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Systematic biases from ignoring environmental tidal effects in gravitational wave observations
Valerio De Luca, Loris Del Grosso, Francesco Iacovelli +2
Binary black hole systems are typically assumed to evolve in vacuum. However, the environment surrounding the binary components can influence their properties, such as their tidal…
