Inspirals into bosonic dark matter stars and chirp mimickers
Caio F. B. Macedo, Haroldo C. D. Lima, Raissa F. P. Mendes +2
We investigate extreme-mass-ratio inspirals in which a stellar-mass compact object orbits a supermassive bosonic dark matter star, modeled as a boson star, using fully relativistic…

Unstable chords and destructive resonant excitation of black hole quasinormal modes
Naritaka Oshita, Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso
The quasinormal mode spectrum of black holes is unstable against small modifications of the radial potential describing massless perturbations. We study how these small modificatio…
