Gravitational Raman Scattering: a Systematic Toolkit for Tidal Effects in General Relativity
Mikhail M. Ivanov, Yue-Zhou Li, Julio Parra-Martinez +1
We present a framework for systematic computations of scattering amplitudes for gravitational Raman scattering, -- the inelastic scattering of massless fields off compact relativis…

Resummation of Universal Tails in Gravitational Waveforms
Mikhail M. Ivanov, Yue-Zhou Li, Julio Parra-Martinez +1
We present a formula for the universal anomalous scaling of the multipole moments of a generic gravitating source in classical general relativity. We derive this formula in two ind…

Bring the Heat: Tidal Heating Constraints for Black Holes and Exotic Compact Objects from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Data
Horng Sheng Chia, Zihan Zhou, Mikhail M. Ivanov
We present the first constraints on tidal heating for the binary systems detected in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) gravitational wave data. Tidal heating, also known as tidal dissipat…
