Supermassive black hole mergers are extraordinary cosmic
phenomena characterized by their immense energy release, producing
gravitational waves that can rival the total light output of all
stars in the universe within a short time frame. These...
Abstract: Upcoming gravitational-wave detectors offer
unprecedented potential for probing early-universe physics. They
are expected to be sensitive to a wide range of primordial
stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds generated by processes
such...
Abstract: In this talk, I will present
upcoming work studying dynamical solutions, near extremal
Reissner—Nordström, of fully coupled Einstein—Maxwell theory with a
spherically symmetric neutral scalar field. We prove mathematically
that extremal...
How and where do black hole mergers form in our Universe? After
10 years of GW science with LIGO/Virgo/Kagra, there still seems to
be no direct indication of what the underlying astrophysical
formation channels are. I will present ideas and ongoing...
