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…
Taming systematics in distance and inclination measurements with gravitational waves: role of the detector network and higher-order modes
Adriano Frattale Mascioli, Francesco Crescimbeni, Costantino Pacilio +2
Gravitational-wave (GW) observations of compact binaries have the potential to unlock several remarkable applications in astrophysics, cosmology, and nuclear physics through accura…
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…
Extreme mass ratio inspirals around topological stars
Marco Melis, Richard Brito, Paolo Pani
We study a point scalar charge in circular orbit around a topological star, a regular, horizonless soliton emerging from dimensional compactification of Einstein-Maxwell theory in…
Towards a Non-singular Paradigm of Black Hole Physics
Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Francesco Di Filippo, Stefano Liberati +18
The study of regular black holes and black hole mimickers as alternatives to standard black holes has recently gained significant attention, driven both by the need to extend gener…
