Universal Relations for rapidly rotating neutron stars using supervised machine-learning techniques

Grigorios Papigkiotis, George Pappas

As some of the most compact stellar objects in the universe, neutron stars are unique cosmic laboratories. The study of neutron stars provides an ideal theoretical testbed for inve…

Is a black hole shadow a reliable test of the no-hair theorem?

Kostas Glampedakis, George Pappas

Capturing the image of the shadow cast by the event horizon of an illuminated black hole is, at the most basic level, an experiment of extreme light deflection in a strongly curved…

New Horizons for Fundamental Physics with LISA

K. G. Arun, Enis Belgacem, Robert Benkel +138

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has the potential to reveal wonders about the fundamental theory of nature at play in the extreme gravity regime, where the gravitatio…

Can supermassive black hole shadows test the Kerr metric?

Kostas Glampedakis, George Pappas

The unprecedented image of the M87* supermassive black hole has sparked some controversy over its usefulness as a test of the general relativistic Kerr metric. The criticism is mai…

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…

Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA

Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318

In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
