We employ the recently proposed formalism of the "horizon wave-function" to investigate the emergence of a horizon in models of black holes as Bose-Einstein condensates of gravitons. We start from the Klein-Gordon equation for a massless…
A particle of mass $\mu$ moves on a circular orbit of a nonrotating black hole of mass $M$. Under the restrictions $\mu/M \ll 1$ and $v \ll 1$, where $v$ is the orbital velocity, we consider the gravitational waves emitted by such a binary…

The gravitational collapse of massive stars serves to manifest the most severe deviations of general relativity with respect to Newtonian gravity: the formation of horizons and spacetime singularities. Both features have proven to be…
The inspiral of a ``small'' ($\mu \sim 1-100 M_\odot$) compact body into a ``large'' ($M \sim 10^{5-7} M_\odot$) black hole is a key source of gravitational radiation for the space-based gravitational-wave observatory LISA. The waves from…
