Model-agnostic search of gravitational wave echoes in LVK data
Di Wu, Xi-Li Zhang, Qing-Guo Huang +1
Gravitational wave echoes offer a unique probe of the near-horizon structure of astrophysical black holes, beyond the standard "black hole spectroscopy." Theoretical waveform predi…
The MeerKAT Thousand-Pulsar Polarisation Array II: Searches for Ultralight Axion-Like Dark Matter
Zi-Yan Yuwen, Michael Sarkis, Yin-Zhe Ma +4
We construct Pulsar Polarisation Arrays (PPA), using regular pulsars monitored in MeerKAT's Thousand Pulsar Array (TPA) Programme, to search for Axion-like Dark Matter (ALDM) withi…
The MeerKAT Thousand-Pulsar Polarization Array I: Properties of the Polarization and Rotation Measure Time Series Data
Michael Sarkis, Zi-Yan Yuwen, Yin-Zhe Ma +4
The polarimetry of recent pulsar observations has provided a wealth of observational data with which to test physical theories of emission mechanisms, radiative transfer and even t…
Probing Ultralight Axion-like Dark Matter: A Pulsar Timing Arrays-Pulsar Polarization Arrays Synergy
Ximeng Li, Yonghao Liu, Zu-Cheng Chen +9
Ultralight axionlike dark matter (ALDM) is a leading candidate in the dark matter realm, characterized by its prominent wave properties on astronomical scales. Pulsar timing arrays…
Pulsar Polarization Array Limits on Ultralight Axion-like Dark Matter
Xiao Xue, Shi Dai, Hoang Nhan Luu +20
We conduct the first-ever Pulsar Polarization Array (PPA) analysis to detect the ultralight Axion-Like Dark Matter (ALDM) using the polarization data of 22 millisecond pulsars from…
Dark Photon Polarimetry
Fiesta Ting Yan Leung, Tao Liu, Sida Lu +3
We propose detecting dark photons (DP), a major candidate for wave dark matter, through polarimetry. The DP can modify Maxwell's equations due to its kinetic mixing with regular ph…
