Probing hybrid stars with gravitational waves via interfacial modes
Shu Yan Lau, Kent Yagi
One of the uncertainties in nuclear physics is whether a phase transition between hadronic nuclear matter to quark matter exists in supranuclear matter equations of state. Such a f…
Measuring Individual Masses of Binary White Dwarfs with Space-based Gravitational-wave Interferometers
Anna Wolz, Kent Yagi, Nick Anderson +1
Unlike gravitational waves from merging black holes and neutron stars that chirp significantly over the observational period of ground-based detectors, gravitational waves from bin…
Testing General Relativity with Gravitational Waves
Zack Carson, Kent Yagi
Gravitational-wave sources offer us unique testbeds for probing strong-field, dynamical and nonlinear aspects of gravity. In this chapter, we give a brief overview of the current s…
The surface of rapidly-rotating neutron stars: implications to neutron star parameter estimation
Hector O. Silva, George Pappas, Nicolás Yunes +1
The Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) is currently observing the x-ray pulse profiles emitted by hot spots on the surface of rotating neutron stars allowing for an…
Probing Noncommutative Gravity with Gravitational Wave and Binary Pulsar Observations
Leah Jenks, Kent Yagi, Stephon Alexander
Noncommutative gravity is a natural method of quantizing spacetime by promoting the spacetime coordinates themselves to operators which do not commute. This approach is motivated,…
Probing Massive Scalar/Vector Fields with Binary Pulsars
Brian C. Seymour, Kent Yagi
Precision tests of general relativity can be conducted by observing binary pulsars. Theories with massive fields exist to explain a variety of phenomena from dark energy to the str…
