Effects of Lighter-than-QCD Axions on Neutron Star Tidal Deformability
Yonatan Kahn, Michael Wentzel, Nicolás Yunes
Finite density corrections to the lighter-than-QCD axion can invert the effective axion potential, sourcing a non-trivial axion field inside dense objects. We perform the first num…

Constraining dark-sector effects using gravitational waves from compact binary inspirals
Caroline B. Owen, Alexandria Tucker, Yonatan Kahn +1
Gravitational wave observations are a powerful tool to constrain fundamental physics. This work considers dark matter that carries charge under a dark abelian massive vector field.…
