Observations of gravitational wave (GW) signals produced by coalescing binary neutron stars (NS), like the GW event GW170817, can be exploited to constrain the equation of state (EoS) of matter in the stars' inner core. The information on…
In scalar-tensor theories beyond Horndeski, the Vainshtein screening mechanism is only partially effective inside astrophysical bodies. We investigate the potential to detect this partial breaking of Vainshtein screening through the tidal…
A sum rule for tidal Love number is derived from quantum field theory computations, which relates tidal susceptibility of a spinless body to transition rates of its single graviton emission processes. An analogous sum rule for…
We apply the point particle EFT approach to a compact star to systematically compute dynamical tidal love numbers for various non-rotating compact objects, extending the treatment of {arXiv:2307.10391[hep-th], arXiv:2407.08327 [gr-qc]}. We…

We consider tidal encounters between a white dwarf and an intermediate mass black hole. Both weak encounters and those at the threshold of disruption are modeled. The numerical code combines mesh-based hydrodynamics, a spectral method…
Tidal dissipation in spinning compact binaries imprints characteristic corrections on the late-inspiral gravitational-wave signal. We develop a next-to-leading order post-Newtonian description of dissipative, electric-quadrupolar tides in…
Black bounces are compact objects that combine the structures of regular black holes with those of wormholes. These spacetimes exhibit a rich causal structure and can differ fundamentally from usual black holes. In this work, we study the…
Tidal perturbations play an important role in the study of the dynamics in the classical two-body system. Understanding tidal effects in strong-field regions may allow one to use gravitational-wave or electromagnetic observations to locate…
Tools from scattering amplitudes and effective field theory have recently been repurposed to derive state-of-the-art results for the black hole binary inspiral in the post-Minkowskian expansion. In the present work we extend this approach…
We construct exotic compact objects composed entirely of self-interacting asymmetric fermionic dark matter governed by a repulsive Yukawa potential with massive dark interaction boson. By considering the structural, tidal, and rotational…
Astrophysical observations point toward strong evidence for the existence of black holes (BHs). Nevertheless, it is yet to be established or ruled out with confidence whether some exotic compact objects (ECOs), capable of mimicking black…
Loop quantum gravitational effects can resolve the central singularity of black holes while potentially leaving tiny traces of quantization in the exterior spacetime. We show the way these residues can, in principle, be explored using tidal…
Future gravitational wave detectors have been projected to be able to probe the nature of compact objects in great detail. In this work, we study the potential observability of the small length scale physics near black hole horizon with the…
Low energy imprints of modifications to general relativity are often found in pressure balance equations inside stars. These modifications are then amenable to tests via astrophysical phenomena, using observational effects in stellar…
Gravitational-wave (GW) observations provide a wealth of information on the nature and properties of black holes. Among these, tidal Love numbers or the multipole moments of the inspiralling and final objects are key to a number of…
In the coming decade, gravitational waves will convert the study of general relativistic aspects of black holes and stars from a largely theoretical enterprise to a highly interactive, observational/theoretical one. For example,…
We present the first constraints on tidal heating for the binary systems detected in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) gravitational wave data. Tidal heating, also known as tidal dissipation, characterizes the viscous nature of an astrophysical…
We carefully develop the framework required to model the dynamical tidal response of a spinning neutron star in an inspiralling binary system, in the context of Newtonian gravity, making sure to include all relevant details and connections…
Motivated by events in which black holes can lose their environment due to tidal interactions in a binary system, we develop a waveform model in which the tidal deformability interpolates between a finite value (dressed black hole) at…
