• Ab-initio QCD Calculations Impact the Inference of the Neutron-star-matter Equation of State 

      Gorda, Tyler; Komoltsev, Oleg; Kurkela, Eero Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We demonstrate that ab-initio calculations in QCD at high densities offer significant and nontrivial information about the equation of state of matter in the cores of neutron stars, going beyond that which is obtainable ...
    • The missing link in gravitational-wave astronomy: A summary of discoveries waiting in the decihertz range 

      Sedda, Manuel Arca; Berry, Christopher P. L.; Jani, Karan; Amaro-Seoane, Pau; Auclair, Pierre; Baird, Jonathon; Baker, Tessa; Berti, Emanuele; Breivik, Katelyn; Caprini, Chiara; Chen, Xian; Doneva, Daniela; Ezquiaga, Jose M.; Ford, K. E. Saavik; Katz, Michael L.; Kolkowitz, Shimon; McKernan, Barry; Mueller, Guido; Nardini, Germano; Shao, Lijing; Tamanini, Nicola; Warburton, Niels; Witek, Helvi; Wong, Kaze; Zevin, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04)
      Since 2015 the gravitational-wave observations of LIGO and Virgo have transformed our understanding of compact-object binaries. In the years to come, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories such as LIGO, Virgo, and ...
    • Multimode Quasinormal Spectrum from a Perturbed Black Hole 

      Capano, Collin D.; Cabero, Miriam; Westerweck, Julian; Abedi, Jahed; Kastha, Shilpa; Nitz, Alexander H.; Wang, Yi-Fan; Nielsen, Alex Bentley; Krishnan, Badri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      When two black holes merge, the late stage of gravitational wave emission is a superposition of exponentially damped sinusoids. According to the black hole no-hair theorem, this ringdown spectrum depends only on the mass ...
    • On Universal Black Holes 

      Hervik, Sigbjørn; Ortaggio, Marcello (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Recent results on universal black holes in d dimensions are summarized. These are static metrics with an isotropy-irreducible homogeneous base space which can be consistently employed to construct solutions to virtually ...
    • Quarkonium production in the QGP 

      Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05)
      We report on recent theory progress in understanding the production of heavy quarkonium in heavy-ion collisions based on the in-medium heavy-quark potential extracted from lattice QCD simulations. On the one hand, the ...
    • Spectroscopy for asymmetric binary black hole mergers 

      Abedi, Jahed; Capano, Collin D.; Kastha, Shilpa; Nitz, Alexander H.; Wang, Yi-Fan; Westerweck, Julian; Nielsen, Alex Bentley; Krishnan, Badri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Black hole spectroscopy is the proposal to observe multiple quasinormal modes in the ringdown of a binary black hole merger. In addition to the fundamental quadrupolar mode, overtones and higher harmonics may be present ...
    • Supernova constraints on dark flavored sectors 

      Camalich, Jorge Martin; Terol-Calvo, Jorge; Tolos Rigueiro, Laura; Ziegler, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)
      Proto-neutron stars forming a few seconds after core-collapse supernovae are hot and dense environments where hyperons can be efficiently produced by weak processes. By making use of various state-of-the-art supernova ...
    • Universal p-form black holes in generalized theories of gravity 

      Hervik, Sigbjørn; Ortaggio, Marcello (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10)
      We explore how far one can go in constructing d-dimensional static black holes coupled to p-form and scalar fields before actually specifying the gravity and electrodynamics theory one wants to solve. At the same time, we ...
    • Unveiling the gravitational universe at μ-Hz frequencies 

      Sesana, Alberto; Korsakova, Natalia; Sedda, Manuel Arca; Baibhav, Vishal; Barausse, Enrico; Barke, Simon; Berti, Emanuele; Bonetti, Matteo; Capelo, Pedro R.; Caprini, Chiara; Garcia-Bellido, Juan; Haiman, Zoltan; Jani, Karan; Jennrich, Oliver; Johansson, Peter H.; Khan, Fazeel Mahmood; Korol, Valeriya; Lamberts, Astrid; Lupi, Alessandro; Mangiagli, Alberto; Mayer, Lucio; Nardini, Germano; Pacucci, Fabio; Petiteau, Antoine; Raccanelli, Alvise; Rajendran, Surjeet; Regan, John; Shao, Lijing; Spallicci, Alessandro; Tamanini, Nicola; Volonteri, Marta; Warburton, Niels; Wong, Kaze; Zumalacárregui, Miguel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We propose a space-based interferometer surveying the gravitational wave (GW) sky in the milli-Hz to μ-Hz frequency range. By the 2040s, the μ-Hz frequency band, bracketed in between the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna ...
