Pulsar timing array detections of supermassive binary black holes: implications from the detected common process signal and beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are anticipated to detect the stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) from supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) as well as the gravitational waves from individual BBHs. Recently, a common process signal was reported by several PTAs. In this […]

The correlations of stellar tidal disruption rates with properties of massive black holes and their host galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: Stars can be either disrupted as tidal disruption events (TDEs) or swallowed as a whole by massive black holes (MBHs) at galactic centers when they approach sufficiently close to these MBHs. In this work, we investigate the correlations […]

Frequency Modulation of Gravitational Waves by Ultralight Scalar Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Yin Zhong, , , | Summary: The oscillating pressure of the ultralight scalar dark matter (DM) can induce the oscillation of the local gravitational potential. Similar to the time-dependent frequency shift for the pulse signals of pulsars, the oscillation of the local gravitational potential can […]

No thick carbon dioxide atmosphere on the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c

Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Seven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar System (Gillon et al., 2017). Thanks to the recent launch of JWST, possible atmospheric constituents such as carbon […]
