Testing the black-hole area law with GW150914

Maximiliano Isi, Will M. Farr, Matthew Giesler +2

We present observational confirmation of Hawking's black-hole area theorem based on data from GW150914, finding agreement with the prediction with 97% (95%) probability when we mod…

Establishing the significance of continuous gravitational-wave detections from known pulsars

Maximiliano Isi, Simone Mastrogiovanni, Matthew Pitkin +1

We present a method for assigning a statistical significance to detection candidates in targeted searches for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars, without assuming th…

A Standard Siren Cosmological Measurement from the Potential GW190521 Electromagnetic Counterpart ZTF19abanrhr

Hsin-Yu Chen, Carl-Johan Haster, Salvatore Vitale +2

The identification of the electromagnetic counterpart candidate ZTF19abanrhr to the binary black hole merger GW190521 opens the possibility to infer cosmological parameters from th…

Multiband gravitational-wave searches for ultralight bosons

Ken K. Y. Ng, Maximiliano Isi, Carl-Johan Haster +1

Gravitational waves may be one of the few direct observables produced by ultralight bosons, conjectured dark matter candidates that could be the key to several problems in particle…

Extracting the Gravitational Recoil from Black Hole Merger Signals

Vijay Varma, Maximiliano Isi, Sylvia Biscoveanu

Gravitational waves carry energy, angular momentum, and linear momentum. In generic binary black hole mergers, the loss of linear momentum imparts a recoil velocity, or a "kick", t…

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…
