Novel Ringdown Tests of General Relativity with Black Hole Graybody Factors
Romeo Felice Rosato, Francesco Crescimbeni, Sophia Yi +2
We present GreyRing, a new model for the post-merger signal in black-hole binary coalescences based on the graybody factor of the remnant. The model accurately reproduces the full…
Not too close! Evaluating the impact of the baseline on the localization of binary black holes by next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Francesco Iacovelli, Luca Reali, Emanuele Berti +3
Next-generation (XG) gravitational-wave detectors, such as Cosmic Explorer (CE) and the Einstein Telescope (ET), will observe compact binary coalescences at unprecedented rates and…
Gravitational Atoms from Topological Stars
Ibrahima Bah, Emanuele Berti, Bogdan Ganchev +2
We study the bound states of a massive scalar field around a topological star, and show that these are strictly normal modes. This yields a genuine gravitational atom, sharply dist…
Extreme mass ratio inspirals in rotating dark matter spikes
Soumodeep Mitra, Nicholas Speeney, Sumanta Chakraborty +1
Gravitational wave (GW) signals from extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are a key observational target for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). The waveforms may be aff…
Explaining LIGO's observations via isolated binary evolution with natal kicks
D. Wysocki, D. Gerosa, R. O'Shaughnessy +5
We compare binary evolution models with different assumptions about black-hole natal kicks to the first gravitational-wave observations performed by the LIGO detectors. Our compari…
The evolutionary roads leading to low effective spins, high black hole masses, and O1/O2 rates of LIGO/Virgo binary black holes
K. Belczynski, J. Klencki, C. E. Fields +31
All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported from the O1/O2 runs have near zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations of this fact. If…
The Effect of Pair-Instability Mass Loss on Black Hole Mergers
K. Belczynski, A. Heger, W. Gladysz +9
Mergers of two stellar origin black holes are a prime source of gravitational waves and are under intensive investigations. One crucial ingredient in their modeling has so far been…
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…
Comparison of LIGO/Virgo upper limits with predicted compact binary merger rates
Krzysztof Belczynski, Michal Dominik, Serena Repetto +2
We compare the current LIGO/Virgo upper limits on double compact object volumetric merger rates with our theoretical predictions. Our optimistic models are a factor of 3 below the…
