Constraints on High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Graviton-Photon Conversion in the M87 Galaxy
Aman Gupta, Pratik Majumdar, Sourov Roy +1
High-frequency gravitational waves, particularly in the range , represent a compelling probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. Due to the absence…
Photon-dark photon oscillation in M87 and Crab Nebula environments
Tanmay Kumar Poddar, Sourov Roy, Pratick Sarkar
Compact astrophysical systems such as neutron stars and black holes provide powerful laboratories for testing feebly coupled dark photons (DPs). We investigate light DPs kineticall…
Constraining eV-scale axion-like particle dark matter: insights from the M87 Galaxy
Arpan Kar, Sourov Roy, Pratick Sarkar
Axion-like particles (ALPs) can account for the observed dark matter (DM) of the Universe and if their masses are at the eV scale, they can decay into infrared, optical and ultravi…
Exploring Ultralight Dark Matter Self-Coupling via the Gravitational Wave Background
Pratick Sarkar
Supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary mergers are a primary source of the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) in the nanohertz band, now being actively probed by pulsar…
