Probing beyond-vacuum general relativistic effects with extreme mass-ratio inspirals

Tieguang Zi, Mostafizur Rahman, Shailesh Kumar

We examine extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) as probes of beyond-vacuum general relativistic effects, accounting for both astrophysical environments and scalar Gauss-Bonnet (sGB…

Preliminary forecasting constraint on scalar charge with LISA in non-vacuum environments

Tieguang Zi, Chang-Qing Ye

We compute the gravitational wave signal from eccentric extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) embedded within beyond-vacuum environments, where the secondary object carries a scalar…

Constraint on massive vector field with extreme-mass-ratio inspirals around a slowly rotating black hole

Tieguang Zi, Peng-Cheng Li, Bao-Min Gu +1

We study the influence of a massive vector (Proca) field on the energy fluxes from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) around a slowly rotating Kerr black hole. The secondary comp…
