Probing soft signals of gravitational-wave memory with space-based interferometers

Yan Cao, Yong-Liang Ma, Yong Tang

Gravitational-wave displacement memory is a remarkable, ubiquitous prediction of general relativity that has not yet been detected. Unlike the oscillatory components of gravitation…

Constraining Ultralight Scalar Dark Matter in the Galactic Center with the S2 Orbit

Jiang-Chuan Yu, Yan Cao, Lijing Shao

The dense environment of our Galactic Center (GC) offers a unique laboratory for probing ultralight dark matter (ULDM). We explore the prospect of detecting a scalar ULDM field thr…

Detecting ultralight dark matter in the Galactic Center with pulsars around Sgr A*

Jiang-Chuan Yu, Yan Cao, Zexin Hu +1

Ultralight dark matter (ULDM) model is a leading dark matter candidate that arises naturally in extensions of the Standard Model. In the Galactic Center, ULDM manifests as dense hy…

Effects of dark dipole radiation on eccentric supermassive black hole binary inspirals

Mu-Chun Chen, Yan Cao

The final-parsec problem has long posed a central challenge in understanding the merger of supermassive black hole binaries. In this paper, we investigate a scenario in which a dar…

Probing vector gravitational atoms with eccentric intermediate mass-ratio inspirals

Yan Cao, Ya-Ze Cheng, Gen-Liang Li +1

Ultralight bosons, proposed as candidates for dark matter (DM), are predicted by various new physics models. In the presence of bosons with suitable masses, superradiant (SR) insta…

Effects of black hole environments on extreme mass-ratio hyperbolic encounters

Ya-Ze Cheng, Yan Cao, Yong Tang

Extreme mass-ratio hyperbolic encounters (EMRHEs) around the supermassive black holes will be observable at the future gravitational-wave (GW) detectors in space, such as LISA and…

Detecting Ultralight Dark Matter Gravitationally with Laser Interferometers in Space

Jiang-Chuan Yu, Yan Cao, Yong Tang +1

Ultralight dark matter (ULDM) is one of the leading well-motivated dark matter candidates, predicted in many theories beyond the standard model of particle physics and cosmology. T…

Electromagnetic Radiation from Binary Stars Mediated by Ultralight Scalar

Ya-Ze Cheng, Wen-Hao Wu, Yan Cao

We present the electromagnetic (EM) dipole radiation flux from an eccentric Keplerian binary endowed with scalar charges, in the presence of scalar-photon coupling or $ϕF…
