The weight of light: colliding pulses of radiation in General Relativity

Jorge Expósito Patiño, Vitor Cardoso, Hannes R. Rüter

We study the gravitational interaction of very strong pulses of electromagnetic radiation, up to and beyond gravitational collapse. We demonstrate the existence of very compact sta…

Gravitational-wave tails and memory effect for mergers in astrophysical environments

Qassim Alnasheet, Vitor Cardoso, Francisco Duque +1

Gravitational waves from the coalescence of compact objects carry information about their dynamics and the spacetime in regions where they are evolving. In particular, late-time ta…

Late-time tails in nonlinear evolutions of merging black holes

Marina De Amicis, Hannes Rüter, Gregorio Carullo +17

We uncover late-time gravitational-wave tails in fully nonlinear 3+1 dimensional numerical relativity simulations of merging black holes, using the highly accurate SpEC code. We ac…

Ringdown Analysis of Rotating Black Holes in Effective Field Theory Extensions of General Relativity

Simon Maenaut, Gregorio Carullo, Pablo A. Cano +4

Quasinormal modes of rapidly rotating black holes were recently computed in a generic effective-field-theory extension of general relativity with higher-derivative corrections. We…

Black hole spectroscopy in environments: detectability prospects

Thomas F. M. Spieksma, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +2

The ringdown phase following a binary black hole coalescence is a powerful tool for measuring properties of the remnant black hole. Future gravitational wave detectors will increas…

Extreme mass-ratio inspirals in ultra-light dark matter

Francisco Duque, Caio F. B. Macedo, Rodrigo Vicente +1

Previous works have argued that future gravitational-wave detectors will be able to probe the properties of astrophysical environments where binary coalesce, including accretion di…

Testing General Relativity with Present and Future Astrophysical Observations

Emanuele Berti, Enrico Barausse, Vitor Cardoso +50

One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity has made remarkable predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests pr…
