Impact of site-dependent noise configurations on Einstein Telescope science at low frequency

Francesco Crescimbeni, Matteo Di Giovanni, Davide Rozza +9

We investigate how site-dependent Newtonian noise configurations affect the scientific performance of the Einstein Telescope (ET), a third-generation gravitational-wave observatory…

Assessing the Impact of Instrumental Requirements on the Scientific Performance of the Einstein Telescope

Ulyana Dupletsa, Francesco Iacovelli, Mikhail Korobko +23

We investigate the relationship between instrumental requirements and the scientific performance of the Einstein Telescope (ET), a third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave (GW) obs…

Novel Ringdown Tests of General Relativity with Black Hole Graybody Factors

Romeo Felice Rosato, Francesco Crescimbeni, Sophia Yi +2

We present GreyRing, a new model for the post-merger signal in black-hole binary coalescences based on the graybody factor of the remnant. The model accurately reproduces the full…

Inferring black hole formation channels in GWTC-4.0 via parametric mass-spin correlations derived from first principles

Emanuele Berti, Francesco Crescimbeni, Gabriele Franciolini +3

We investigate the differences between several proposed formation scenarios for binary black holes (BBHs), including isolated stellar evolution, dynamical assembly in dense cluster…

Accuracy of ringdown models calibrated to numerical relativity simulations

Francesco Crescimbeni, Gregorio Carullo, Emanuele Berti +3

The ''ringdown'' stage of gravitational-wave signals from binary black hole mergers, mainly consisting of a superposition of quasinormal modes emitted by the merger remnant, is a k…

Can we identify primordial black holes? The role of subsolar gravitational wave events

Francesco Crescimbeni

The detection of a subsolar object in a compact binary merger is regarded as one of the most compelling signatures of a population of primordial black holes (PBHs). We critically e…

Theory-agnostic searches of non-gravitational modes in the ringdown

Francesco Crescimbeni

We present a theory-agnostic framework to search for extra-fundamental modes in the ringdown phase of black hole mergers. These modes, distinct from standard General Relativity (GR…

Black Hole Ringdown Amplitudescopy

Francesco Crescimbeni, Xisco Jimenez-Forteza, Paolo Pani

Black hole ringdowns in extensions of General Relativity (GR) generically exhibit two distinct signatures: (1) theory-dependent shifts in the standard black-hole quasinormal modes,…

Taming systematics in distance and inclination measurements with gravitational waves: role of the detector network and higher-order modes

Adriano Frattale Mascioli, Francesco Crescimbeni, Costantino Pacilio +2

Gravitational-wave (GW) observations of compact binaries have the potential to unlock several remarkable applications in astrophysics, cosmology, and nuclear physics through accura…

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…

The Irrelevance of Primordial Black Hole Clustering in the LVK mass range

F. Crescimbeni, V. Desjacques, G. Franciolini +6

We show that in realistic models where primordial black holes are formed due to the collapse of sizeable inflationary perturbations, their initial spatial clustering beyond Poisson…

Cosmology and nuclear-physics implications of a subsolar gravitational-wave event

Francesco Crescimbeni, Gabriele Franciolini, Paolo Pani +1

Detecting a compact subsolar object would have profound implications in physics, the reach of which depends on the nature of the object. Here we explore such consequences for a put…

Theory-agnostic searches for non-gravitational modes in black hole ringdown

Francesco Crescimbeni, Xisco Jimenez Forteza, Swetha Bhagwat +2

In any extension of General Relativity (GR), extra fundamental degrees of freedom couple to gravity. Besides deforming GR forecasts in a theory-dependent way, this coupling generic…

Can we identify primordial black holes? Tidal tests for subsolar-mass gravitational-wave observations

F. Crescimbeni, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1

The detection of a subsolar object in a compact binary merger is regarded as one of the smoking gun signatures of a population of primordial black holes~(PBHs). We critically asses…
