Follow-up signals from superradiant instabilities of black hole merger remnants
Shrobana Ghosh, Emanuele Berti, Richard Brito +1
Superradiant instabilities can trigger the formation of bosonic clouds around rotating black holes. If the bosonic field growth is sufficiently fast, these clouds could form shortl…
Electromagnetic emission from axionic clouds and the quenching of superradiant instabilities
Taishi Ikeda, Richard Brito, Vitor Cardoso
The nature of dark matter is one of the longest-standing puzzles in science. Axions or axion-like particles are a key possibility, and arise in mechanisms to solve the strong CP pr…
Axionic instabilities and new black hole solutions
Mateja Boskovic, Richard Brito, Vitor Cardoso +2
The coupling between scalar and vector fields has a long and interesting history. Axions are one key possibility to solve the strong CP problem and axion-like particles could be on…
Directed searches for gravitational waves from ultralight bosons
Maximiliano Isi, Ling Sun, Richard Brito +1
Gravitational-wave detectors can search for yet-undiscovered ultralight bosons, including those conjectured to solve problems in particle physics, high-energy theory and cosmology.…
Quasinormal modes of weakly charged Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton black holes
Richard Brito, Costantino Pacilio
Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory is an interesting and well-motivated theoretical laboratory to explore the impact of new fundamental degrees of freedom in the context of testing th…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
The stochastic gravitational-wave background in the absence of horizons
Enrico Barausse, Richard Brito, Vitor Cardoso +2
Gravitational-wave astronomy has the potential to explore one of the deepest and most puzzling aspects of Einstein's theory: the existence of black holes. A plethora of ultracompac…
Black-hole Spectroscopy by Making Full Use of Gravitational-Wave Modeling
Richard Brito, Alessandra Buonanno, Vivien Raymond
The Kerr nature of a compact-object-coalescence remnant can be unveiled by observing multiple quasi-normal modes (QNMs) in the post-merger signal. Current methods to achieve this g…
Probing the existence of ultralight bosons with a single gravitational-wave measurement
Otto A. Hannuksela, Kaze W. K. Wong, Richard Brito +2
Light bosons, proposed as a possible solution to various problems in fundamental physics and cosmology, include a broad class of candidates for beyond the Standard Model physics, s…
