Modeling gravitational waves from exotic compact objects
Alexandre Toubiana, Stanislav Babak, Enrico Barausse +1
Exotic compact objects can be difficult to distinguish from black holes in the inspiral phase of the binaries observed by gravitational-wave detectors, but significant differences…
Effects of High Density Phase Transitions on Neutron Star Dynamics
Steven L. Liebling, Carlos Palenzuela, Luis Lehner
Various theoretical arguments motivate an expectation of a phase transition in matter at extreme densities above nuclear density, accompanied by hopes that gravitational wave obser…
Nonlinear/non-iterative treatment of EFT-motivated gravity
Ramiro Cayuso, Luis Lehner
We study a higher derivative extension to General Relativity and present a fully nonlinear/non-perturbative treatment to construct initial data and study its dynamical behavior in…
Towards fidelity and scalability in non-vacuum mergers
S. L. Liebling, C. Palenzuela, L. Lehner
We study the evolution of two fiducial configurations for binary neutron stars using two different general relativistic hydrodynamics(GRHD), distributed adaptive mesh codes. One co…
Critical collapse of a scalar field in semiclassical loop quantum gravity
Florencia Benitez, Rodolfo Gambini, Luis Lehner +2
We study the collapse in spherical symmetry of a massless scalar field minimally coupled to gravity using the semiclassical equations that are expected from loop quantum gravity. W…
