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…
Parameter estimation of gravitational wave echoes from exotic compact objects
Andrea Maselli, Sebastian H. Völkel, Kostas D. Kokkotas
Relativistic ultracompact objects without an event horizon may be able to form in nature and merge as binary systems, mimicking the coalescence of ordinary black holes. The postmer…
Dancing in the dark: probing Dark Matter through the dynamics of eccentric binary pulsars
Giorgio Nicolini, Andrea Maselli, Miguel Zilhão
We investigate the dynamics of eccentric binary pulsars embedded in dark matter environments. While previous studies have primarily focused on circular orbits in collisionless dark…
A multi-parameter expansion for the evolution of asymmetric binaries in astrophysical environments
Sayak Datta, Andrea Maselli
Compact binaries with large mass asymmetries - such as Extreme and Intermediate Mass Ratio Inspirals - are unique probes of the astrophysical environments in which they evolve. The…
deci-Hz Gravitational Wave Observations on the Moon and Beyond
Emanuele Berti, Marica Branchesi, Alessandra Buonanno +21
This document summarizes talks and discussions from the workshop "deci-Hz Gravitational Wave Observations on the Moon and Beyond" that took place at Johns Hopkins University betwee…
Extreme mass ratio inspirals in dark matter halos: dynamics and distinguishability of halo models
Sara Gliorio, Emanuele Berti, Andrea Maselli +1
The gravitational wave (GW) signals from extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), a key target for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), will be affected in the presence of d…
