Scalar field effects on the orbit of S2 star

António Amorim, Michael Bauböck, Myriam Benisty +35

Precise measurements of the S-stars orbiting SgrA* have set strong constraints on the nature of the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. The presence of a black hole in t…

The sub-TeV transient Gamma-Ray sky: challenges and opportunities

G. La Mura, P. Assis, A. Blanco +29

The detection of gravitational waves and neutrinos from astrophysical sources with gamma-ray counterparts officially started the era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy. Their transient a…

How do scalar-field dark matter haloes react to orbiting bodies?

Miguel C. Ferreira

Low-energy, self-gravitating solutions of a scalar field coupled to gravity, described by the Schrodinger-Poisson system, are good candidates for realistic astrophysical structures…

Motion in time-periodic backgrounds with applications to ultralight dark matter haloes at galactic centers

Mateja Bošković, Francisco Duque, Miguel C. Ferreira +2

We consider motion in spherically symmetric but time-dependent backgrounds. This problem is of interest, for example, in the context of ultralight dark matter, where galactic haloe…

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-…

Orbital fingerprints of ultralight scalar fields around black holes

Miguel C. Ferreira, Caio F. B. Macedo, Vitor Cardoso

Ultralight scalars have been predicted in a variety of scenarios, and advocated as a possible component of dark matter. These fields can form compact regular structures known as bo…
