Gravitational wave echos from the coalescence of black hole binaries are often viewed as signals beyond general relativity or standard model. In this work, we show that these echos are inevitable in the black holes coalescence described by…

The tentative Gravitational Wave Echo (GWE) at a frequency of about $72\,Hz$ has been recently claimed at $4.2\sigma$ significance level in the GW170817 event. GWEs can be used as a tool to study the characteristics of ultra-compact stellar…

We present an unified approach for the study of idealized gravitational compact objects like wormholes and horizonless stars, here simulated by the presence of boundary conditions at a deeply inner wall. At classical level, namely…

Exotic compact objects may resemble black holes very closely while remaining horizonless. They may be distinguished from black holes because they effectively give rise to a resonant cavity for the propagation of low frequency gravity waves.…

It is well-known that exotic compact objects (ECOs) are a class of objects categorised as Black Hole (BH) mimickers. ECOs have been shown to possess signatures distinguishing them from BHs. However, in our universe, no object exists in…

The effect of energy absorption during the binary evolution of Exotic-compact-objects (ECOs) is extensively studied. We review the underlying mechanism that provides the energy dissipation in material objects - tidal friction. We show that…

The ringdown of the gravitational-wave signal from a merger of two black holes has been suggested as a probe of the structure of the remnant compact object, which may be more exotic than a black hole. It has been pointed out that there will…

It has been recently shown that observing pulses isolated from the gravitational radiation transient (also known as echoes) would prove the existence of exotic compact objects (ECOs). Many features of the ringdown signal can be reproduced…

Gravitational wave (GW) echoes, if they exist, would be a probe to the near-horizon quantum structure of black hole (BH), which has motivated the searching for the echo signals in GW data. We point out that the echo phenomenology related…

Most of the properties of black holes can be mimicked by horizonless compact objects such as gravastars and boson stars. We show that these ultra-compact objects develop a strong ergoregion instability when rapidly spinning. Instability…
