General Relativity (GR) was proven via the direct detection of gravitational waves from the mergers of the binary black holes and binary neutron stars by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. These detections confirmed the…
Recent measurements of the Chandra satellite have shown that a supermassive black hole of $M = 2.6 \times 10^{6} M_{\odot}$ is located in the Galactic Center; it seems probable that, from other observations, this fact is common in the…
We perform a comprehensive study of gravitational waves in the context of the higher-order quadratic scalar curvature gravity, which encompasses the ordinary Einstein-Hilbert term in the action plus an $R^{2}$ contribution and a term of the…
We give a brief overview of the black hole information problem emphasizing fundamental issues and recent proposals for its resolution. The focus is on broad perspective and providing a guide to current literature rather than presenting full…
The properties of potential gravitational wave sources like neutron stars, black holes and binary systems are reviewed, as well as the different contributions (stochastic and continuous) to the gravitational wave background. The…
The goal of these lecture notes is to introduce the developing research area of gravitational-wave phenomenology. In more concrete terms, they are meant to provide an overview of gravitational-wave sources and an introduction to the…
We present a report on the progress made in the development of computational techniques to evaluate the gravitational radiation generated by a particle orbiting a massive black hole to second pertrubative order.
This review explores modified theories of gravity, particularly $f(R)$ gravity, as extensions to General Relativity (GR) that offer alternatives to dark energy for explaining cosmic acceleration. These models generalize the Einstein-Hilbert…
Realizing a gravitational wave (GW) astronomy in next years is a great challenge for the scientific community. By giving a significant amount of new information, GWs will be a cornerstone for a better understanding of gravitational physics.…
We consider several physical scenarios where black holes within classical gravity theories including $R^2$ and Ricci-squared corrections and formulated \`a la Palatini can be analytically studied.
We study gravitational waves with torsion as exact vacuum solutions of three-dimensional gravity with propagating torsion. The new solutions are a natural generalization of the plane-fronted gravitational waves in general relativity with a…
We present a short communication on the recent direct measurements of gravitational waves, made possible by the joint efforts of the LIGO and the Virgo projects. These notes are devoted to a broad audience. In the first part we will present…
Very straightforward arguments proving the physical non-existence of GW's and of BH's. They are so simple that even the members of the Wheelerian establishment will understand them.
We give a short personally-biased review on the recent progress in our understanding of gravitational radiation reaction acting on a point particle orbiting a black hole. The main motivation of this study is to obtain sufficiently precise…
We use simulations of hydrodynamics coupled with full general relativity to investigate the gravitational waves produced by a star colliding with a massive black hole when the star's tidal disruption radius lies far outside of the black…
Spherically symmetric solutions of theories of gravity built one fundamental class of solutions to describe compact objects like black holes and stars. Moreover, they serve as starting point for the search of more realistic axially…
Lecture notes on selected topics in the theory of gravitation.
Black holes were predicted by Einstein General Relativity (GR). Because of unusual properties of these objects their existence is almost unbelievable. There are gravitation theories which do not predict the black hole appearance. By now,…
This paper explores time-varying black holes within the framework of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory with two scalar fields, examining the propagation of gravitational waves (GW). In reconstructed models, ghosts frequently emerge but can…
We review sources of high-frequency gravitational waves, summarizing our current understanding of emission mechanisms, expected amplitudes and event rates. The most promising sources are gravitational collapse (formation of black holes or…
