Waveform Modelling for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niayesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay +144
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will exp…
The Early Career Workshop of GR-Amaldi 2025
S Al-Shammari, C P L Berry, C E A Chapman-Bird +18
Gravitational physics and astronomy have developed rapidly over the last decade, driven by new observations and theoretical breakthroughs. As new as the science and technology of t…
Plunge-Merger-Ringdown Tests of General Relativity with GW250114
Leonardo Grimaldi, Elisa Maggio, Lorenzo Pompili +1
The binary black hole signal GW250114, the clearest gravitational wave detected to date, offers a unique opportunity to test general relativity in the relativistic strong-gravity r…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +70
The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…
One Membrane to Love them all: Tidal deformations of compact objects from the membrane paradigm
Michela Silvestrini, Elisa Maggio, Sumanta Chakraborty +1
The tidal deformability is a key observable to test the nature of compact objects in a binary coalescence. Within vacuum General Relativity, the tidal Love numbers of a four-dimens…
