A meta inspiral-merger-ringdown consistency test of general relativity with gravitational wave signals from compact binaries
Sakshi Satish Madekar, Nathan K Johnson-McDaniel, Anuradha Gupta +1
The observation of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences is a promising tool to test the validity of general relativity (GR) in a highly dynamical strong-field regim…
Effect of Type II Strong Gravitational Lensing on Tests of General Relativity
Purnima Narayan, Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel, Anuradha Gupta
Gravitational wave (GW) observations of binary black hole (BBH) coalescences provide a unique opportunity to test general relativity (GR) in the strong-field regime. To ensure the…
Implications of GW241011 for rotating exotic compact objects
N. V. Krishnendu, Tamara Evstafyeva, Aditya Vijaykumar +17
A number of theoretical proposals have been made for horizonless compact objects with masses and spins similar to those of black holes. While gravitational wave signatures from the…
Possible binary neutron star merger history of the primary of GW230529
Parthapratim Mahapatra, Debatri Chattopadhyay, Anuradha Gupta +4
Black holes (BHs) with masses between , produced by a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, can further pair up with a neutron star or BH and merge again within a Hu…
Confronting general relativity with principal component analysis: Simulations and results from GWTC-3 events
Parthapratim Mahapatra, Sayantani Datta, Ish Gupta +10
We present a comprehensive assessment of multiparameter tests of general relativity (GR) in the inspiral regime of compact binary coalescences using principal component analysis (P…
Black hole mimickers: from theory to observation
Cosimo Bambi, Ramy Brustein, Vitor Cardoso +16
The black hole paradigm, while remarkably successful, raises fundamental questions-both classical and quantum-about the nature of spacetime, horizons, and singularities. Black hole…
