Causal Green function decomposition for quantum black hole seismology
Xi-Li Zhang, Jing Ren
The growing sensitivity of gravitational-wave detectors enables increasingly precise tests of black hole (BH) ringdown spectroscopy. BH quasinormal modes (QNMs) are, however, spect…

Probing Boson Clouds with Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Ximeng Li, Jing Ren, Xi-Li Zhang
Rotating black holes can generate boson clouds via superradiance when the boson's Compton wavelength is comparable to the black hole's size. In binary systems, these clouds can pro…

Probing light scalars with not quite black holes
Ximeng Li, Jing Ren
The rapid progress in gravitational wave astronomy has provided an opportunity for investigating the presence of long-range scalar forces that exclusively manifest around astrophys…
