Bekenstein--Hod Bound: A Confirmation from GW250114

Hai-Tian Wang, Shao-Peng Tang, Yi-Zhong Fan

Black holes link gravity, thermodynamics and information via limits on the relaxation rate of a perturbed system. The Bekenstein-Hod bound imposes a minimum relaxation time at fixe…

Neutron Star Observations Challenge a Large Colour-Superconducting Gap in Dense Quark Matter

Shao-Peng Tang, Yong-Jia Huang, Yi-Zhong Fan

At asymptotically high density, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that quark matter becomes a colour superconductor in the colour-flavour-locked (CFL) phase, yet, away from the…

Verification of the Black Hole Area Law with GW230814

Shao-Peng Tang, Hai-Tian Wang, Yin-Jie Li +1

We present an observational confirmation of Hawking's black-hole area theorem using the newly released gravitational-wave data from the GWTC-4.0. We analyze the high signal-to-nois…

Detection of a Higher Harmonic Quasi-normal Mode in the Ringdown Signal of GW231123

Hai-Tian Wang, Shao-Peng Tang, Peng-Cheng Li +1

The ringdown phase of a gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger offers a unique laboratory for testing general relativity in the strong-field regime and probing t…

Phase transition and nuclear symmetry energy from neutron star observations: Constraints in light of PSR J0614--3329

Shao-Peng Tang, Yong-Jia Huang, Yi-Zhong Fan

The possible occurrence of a first-order hadron-quark phase transition (FOPT) in neutron-star interiors remains an open question. Whether such a transition can be directly tested w…

The maximum mass and rotational kinetic energy of rapidly rotating neutron stars

Shao-Peng Tang, Yong-Jia Huang, Yi-Zhong Fan

Rapid uniformly-rotating neutron stars are expected to be formed for instance in the collapse of some massive stars, the accretion of compact object binaries, and double neutron st…
