The crust of dark-matter admixed neutron stars: bulk properties and torsional oscillations

Jiayi Zhang, Hector O. Silva

We study how dark matter (DM) impacts the crust and the spectrum of torsional crust oscillations of dark-matter-admixed neutron stars (DANSs). We construct two-fluid equilibrium so…

Nonradial oscillations of stratified neutron stars with solid crusts: Mode characterization and tidal resonances in coalescing binaries

Yong Gao, Hao-Jui Kuan, Cheng-Jun Xia +2

Dynamical tides of neutron stars in the late stages of binary inspirals provide a viable probe into dense matter through gravitational waves, and potentially trigger electromagneti…

Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +65

The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…

Neutron stars as extreme gravity probes

Hector O. Silva

Neutron stars are powerful probes into the extremes of physics. In this chapter, we will discuss how observations of neutron stars, either in isolation or in binaries, can be lever…

Eikonal gravitational-wave lensing in Einstein-aether theory

Julius Streibert, Hector O. Silva, Miguel Zumalacárregui

Einstein-aether theory provides a model to test the validity of local Lorentz invariance in gravitational interactions. The speed of gravitational waves as measured from the binary…

Breaking black-hole uniqueness at supermassive scales

Astrid Eichhorn, Pedro G. S. Fernandes, Aaron Held +1

In general relativity, all vacuum black holes are described by the Kerr solution. Beyond general relativity, there is a prevailing expectation that deviations from the Kerr solutio…
