Resumming Kerr Quasinormal-Mode Frequencies: Accuracy and Breakdown Near Extremality

Jierui Hu, Kent Yagi, Nicolas Yunes

Kerr black-hole quasinormal modes are usually computed with numerical methods, but analytic approximations remain useful for identifying the physics that controls different parts o…

Astrophysical Parameter Inference on Accreting White Dwarf Binaries using Gravitational Waves

Sophia Yi, Shu Yan Lau, Kent Yagi +1

Accreting binary white dwarf systems are among the sources expected to emanate gravitational waves that the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect. We investigate ho…

Gravitational radiation from a particle plunging into a Schwarzschild black hole: frequency-domain and semirelativistic analyses

Hector O. Silva, Giovanni Tambalo, Kostas Glampedakis +1

We revisit the classic problem of gravitational wave emission by a test particle plunging into a Schwarzschild black hole both in the frequency-domain Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli formali…

Gravitational wave polarizations with different propagation speeds

Kristen Schumacher, Nicolas Yunes, Kent Yagi

In some modified theories of gravity, gravitational waves can contain up to six different polarizations, which can travel at speeds different from that of light. Searches for these…

I-Love-Q in Einstein-aether Theory

Kai Vylet, Siddarth Ajith, Kent Yagi +1

Although Lorentz symmetry is a staple of General Relativity (GR), there are several reasons to believe it may not hold in a more advanced theory of gravity, such as quantum gravity…

Gravitational wave constraints on Einstein-æther theory with LIGO/Virgo data

Kristen Schumacher, Scott Ellis Perkins, Ashley Shaw +2

Lorentz symmetry is a fundamental property of Einstein's theory of general relativity that one may wish to test with gravitational wave observations. Einstein-aether theory is a mo…
