Gravitational waves from spin-precessing binaries exhibit amplitude oscillations that provide an invaluable method to extract the spins of the inspiraling compact objects. The spin-spin and spin-orbit interactions that cause this effect are…

We analyse the implications of the presence of spatial curvature in modified gravity models. As it is well known, the current standard cosmological model, the $\Lambda$CDM, is assumed to be spatially flat based on the results of many…

We explore the post-Newtonian dynamics of spinning black hole (BH) binaries in Einstein-ScalarGauss-Bonnet (ESGB) gravity, a theory that modifies general relativity by introducing a massless scalar field coupled nonminimally to gravity via…

The Effective Field Theory (EFT) of perturbations on an arbitrary background geometry with a timelike scalar profile was recently constructed in the context of scalar-tensor theories. In this paper, we use this EFT to study quasinormal…
