We formulate a generally covariant six-field Rational Extended Thermodynamics model (RET$_6$) for relativistic polyatomic gases, with the dynamical pressure as the only non-equilibrium variable. The model is based on a polyatomic extension…
Millihertz gravitational-wave observations with space-based interferometers require time-delay interferometry (TDI) observables whose residual instrumental noise is sufficiently controlled for both detection and parameter inference.…
The Einstein-de Sitter universe is the prevailing model used in cosmology to describe the cold dark matter-dominated epoch of the universe. This model is a spatially homogeneous and isotropic spacetime undergoing decelerated expansion, and…
We present the first self-force-based beyond-GR waveform model incorporating post-adiabatic orbital evolution for intermediate- and extreme-mass-ratio inspirals in theories of gravity with additional scalar fields. Focusing on…
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are sensitive probes of weak environmental effects around massive black holes, since such effects can accumulate into observable gravitational-wave phase shifts. In this work, we study the phase…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed compact, red, overmassive accreting black holes - the so-called ``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs) - in chemically near-pristine hosts at $z\simeq5 - 9$, straining standard heavy-seed models. We…
We investigate the influence of medium effects on strange quark matter and their consequences for the structural properties of compact stars. In this study, the bag constant, in the MIT bag model equation of state, is reformulated as a…
Non-Gaussian noise transients ("glitches") in gravitational-wave observatories degrade our ability to accurately perform astrophysical inference. We present the analysis pipeline bilby_glitch, which allows for simultaneous Bayesian…
It has been argued that degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories and the effective field theory (EFT) of dark energy are endowed with the Vainshtein mechanism, resulting in a screened fifth force in the exterior of a gravitational…
Recently, we demonstrated that while an interstellar mission to the nearest black hole remains highly speculative and extraordinarily challenging, it is not entirely implausible within the coming decades. Given that such a mission would…
We present a concise and explicit analysis of logarithmically corrected black-hole thermodynamics and scalar scattering on the Schwarzschild branch of symmetric teleparallel gravity. Treating the metric and the flat, torsion-free affine…
We investigate the repetitive Penrose process for neutral particles in a rotating four-dimensional Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet black hole obtained through the modified Newman--Janis algorithm, developing a nonlinear iterative scheme in which…
We revisit the derivation of Morawetz--energy estimates for scalar wave equations in the domain of outer communication of a Kerr spacetime \(\KK(a,m)\). Our goal is to develop robust physical-space methods which are well suited for…
Within Einstein power-Yang-Mills gravity (EPYM), we build a rotating black hole via the Newman-Janis procedure applied to the spherically symmetric static seed, obtaining a Kerr-like metric controlled by the spin \(a\), the magnetic…
This paper investigates higher-dimensional scalar-tensor theories of gravity with nonminimal coupling, focusing on the reconstruction of exact spherically symmetric solutions. We systematically apply the formalism developed in previous…
We propose a small-throat prescription for the wave function of a closed universe in the Lorentzian path integral formalism, motivated by the idea that universe creation may be obtained as the decoupling, or pinch-off, limit of a tunneling…
A central challenge in testing inflationary scenarios with cosmic microwave background (CMB) data is to derive predictions for cosmological observables that remain accurate beyond the slow-roll regime, where the standard consistency…
We investigate the optical properties of a rotating black hole immersed in a Hernquist dark matter halo. The spacetime is generated from a static Hernquist black hole through the noncomplexification version of the Newman-Janis procedure,…
Testing General Relativity (GR) with black hole ringdowns has conventionally focused on attempting to detect shifts away from the quasinormal mode (QNM) frequencies of the Kerr metric. It has recently been argued, however, that the ringdown…
Direct waves from black-hole mergers may probe horizon dynamics, but their observed envelopes need not decay at the Kerr surface-gravity rate. We compute the complex-frequency spin-$-2$, $\ell=m=2$ Teukolsky response driven by a…
