Photon Counting Interferometry to Detect Geontropic Space-Time Fluctuations with GQuEST

Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: Sander M. Vermeulen, Torrey Cullen, Daniel Grass, Ian A. O. MacMillan, Alexander J. Ramirez | Summary: The GQuEST (Gravity from the Quantum Entanglement of Space-Time) experiment uses tabletop-scale Michelson laser interferometers to probe for fluctuations in space-time. We present a practicable interferometer design featuring a novel photon […]

Tidal heating as a discriminator for horizons in equatorial eccentric extreme mass ratio inspirals

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Sayak Datta, Richard Brito, Scott A. Hughes, Talya Klinger, Paolo Pani | Summary: Tidal heating in a binary black hole system is driven by the absorption of energy and angular momentum by the black hole’s horizon. Previous works have shown that this phenomenon becomes particularly significant […]

The black hole low mass X-ray binary V404 Cygni is part of a wide hierarchical triple, and formed without a kick

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Erin Kara, Claude Canizares, Deepto Chakrabarty | Summary: Evidence suggests that when compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars form, they may receive a “natal kick,” where the stellar remnant gains momentum. Observational evidence for neutron star kicks is substantial, […]
