Environmental effects vs. modified gravity in the LISA massive black hole binary population

Lorenzo Copparoni, Enrico Barausse

Gravitational-wave signals from massive black hole binaries observed by LISA can carry imprints of both the astrophysical environment of the source and possible deviations from gen…

Impact of sky localization uncertainty on ringdown inference

Kallol Dey, Enrico Barausse, Marco Crisostomi +1

As gravitational-wave ringdown signals grow louder, quasinormal-mode inference depends increasingly on the treatment of extrinsic parameters. Standard analyses fix sky localization…

Constraints on Einstein-aether gravity from the precision timing of PSR J1738+0333

Massimo Vaglio, Amodio Carleo, Abhimanyu Susobhanan +5

We constrain Einstein-aether gravity -- a Lorentz-violating extension of General Relativity in which a dynamical, unit timelike vector field selects a preferred frame -- using upda…

Implications of the LISA stochastic signal from eccentric stellar mass black hole binaries in vacuum

Ran Chen, Rohit S. Chandramouli, Federico Pozzoli +2

Astrophysical formation channels of stellar-mass binary black holes (sBBHs) can induce significant orbital eccentricities in their early inspiral. We analyze the implications on th…

Scalar emission from binary neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories with kinetic screening

Ramiro Cayuso, Adrien Kuntz, Thiago Assumpcao +2

We investigate the scalar emission from binary neutron stars in shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theories with kinetic screening (-essence), using 3+1 numerical simulations in the…

The LISA Astrophysics MBHcatalogues Project: A comparison of predictions of simulated massive black hole binaries

David Izquierdo-Villalba, Melanie Habouzit, Matteo Bonetti +67

In the hierarchical paradigm of galaxy formation, central massive black holes (MBHs) are expected to coalesce after the merger of their host galaxies. One of the main goals of the…

Hierarchical modeling of gravitational-wave populations for disentangling environmental and modified-gravity effects

Shubham Kejriwal, Enrico Barausse, Alvin J. K. Chua

The upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect up to thousands of extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs). These sources will spend cycles in band, and…

When vacuum breaks: a self-consistency test for astrophysical environments in extreme mass ratio inspirals

Lorenzo Copparoni, Rohit S. Chandramouli, Enrico Barausse

Gravitational-wave signals are typically interpreted under the vacuum hypothesis, i.e. assuming negligible influence from the astrophysical environment. This assumption is expected…

Muffled Murmurs: Environmental effects in the LISA stochastic signal from stellar-mass black hole binaries

Ran Chen, Rohit S. Chandramouli, Federico Pozzoli +2

The population of unresolved stellar-mass black hole binaries (sBBHs) is expected to produce a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) potentially detectable by the Laser I…

Simulation-based population inference of LISA's Galactic binaries: Bypassing the global fit

Rahul Srinivasan, Enrico Barausse, Natalia Korsakova +1

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to detect thousands of individually resolved gravitational wave sources, overlapping in time and frequency, on top of unre…

Systematic bias in LISA ringdown analysis due to waveform inaccuracy

Lodovico Capuano, Massimo Vaglio, Rohit S. Chandramouli +3

Inaccurate modeling of gravitational-wave signals can introduce systematic biases in the inferred source parameters. As detector sensitivities improve and signals become louder, mi…

Searches for signatures of ultra-light axion dark matter in polarimetry data of the European Pulsar Timing Array

N. K. Porayko, P. Usynina, J. Terol-Calvo +74

Ultra-light axion-like particles (ALPs) can be a viable solution to the dark matter problem. The scalar field associated with ALPs, coupled to the electromagnetic field, acts as an…

Reconciling PTA and JWST and preparing for LISA with POMPOCO: a Parametrisation Of the Massive black hole POpulation for Comparison to Observations

A. Toubiana, L. Sberna, M. Volonteri +7

We develop a parametrised model to describe the formation and evolution of massive black holes, designed for comparisons with both electromagnetic and gravitational wave observatio…

Reconstructing the LISA massive black hole binary population via iterative kernel density estimation

Jam Sadiq, Kallol Dey, Thomas Dent +1

Reconstructing the properties of the astrophysical population of binary compact objects in the universe is a key science goal of gravitational wave detectors. This goal is hindered…
