The binary black hole explorer: on-the-fly visualizations of precessing binary black holes

Vijay Varma, Leo C. Stein, Davide Gerosa

Binary black hole mergers are of great interest to the astrophysics community, not least because of their promise to test general relativity in the highly dynamic, strong field reg…

Measuring stochastic gravitational-wave energy beyond general relativity

Maximiliano Isi, Leo C. Stein

Gravity theories beyond general relativity (GR) can change the properties of gravitational waves: their polarizations, dispersion, speed, and, importantly, energy content are all h…

Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap

Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203

The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…

Black hole scalar charge from a topological horizon integral in Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Kartik Prabhu, Leo C. Stein

In theories of gravity that include a scalar field, a compact object's scalar charge is a crucial quantity since it controls dipole radiation, which can be strongly constrained by…

Black-hole kicks from numerical-relativity surrogate models

Davide Gerosa, François Hébert, Leo C. Stein

Binary black holes radiate linear momentum in gravitational waves as they merge. Recoils imparted to the black-hole remnant can reach thousands of km/s, thus ejecting black holes f…

Deformation of extremal black holes from stringy interactions

Baoyi Chen, Leo C. Stein

Black holes are a powerful setting for studying general relativity and theories beyond GR. However, analytical solutions for rotating black holes in beyond-GR theories are difficul…
