Description
This parallel session will be devoted to the use of gravitational waves for the study and identification of astrophysical sources such as binary compact objects like double white dwarfs, binary neutron stars, and binary black holes, among others. This covers the relation between gravitational radiation and other forms of radiation (electromagnetic and neutrino emission). Additionally, multiwavelength gravitational wave astronomy will be discussed, focusing on the joint observations from space and ground-based interferometers. Finally, this session will also include the most recent advancements in observational and theoretical studies on how gravitational wave-optics effects at astrophysical scales can be used to identify halos and other types of structures.

Compact objects are usually described using the perfect fluid formalism. However, in astrophysical processes out of local equilibrium, dissipative effects become important to realistically describe the dynamics of the system.

The chameleon-induced polarization modes of gravitational waves (GWs) are explored in f(R) gravity arising due to scalar field. The chameleon mechanism works strongly in high density regions where mass of the scalar field particle becomes high and the oscillations of the scalar field sharply increase. This produces enhanced scalar modes in addition to the tensor modes of polarization in...

It is not a priori clear that “nonlinear wave equations” must possess two constants as well. However, the exact solutions of the nonlinear Einstein Field Equations for plane and... -

We develop a framework to compute the tidal response of a Kerr-like compact object in terms of its reflectivity, compactness, and spin, both in the static and the frequency-dependent case. Here we focus on the low-frequency regime, which can be solved fully analytically. We highlight some remarkable novel features, in particular: i) Even in the zero-frequency limit, the tidal Love numbers...

Remnants of binary black-hole mergers can gain significant recoil or kick velocities due to the anisotropic emission of gravitational waves, which may leave a characteristic imprint in the observed signal. So far, only one gravitational-wave event supports a non-zero kick velocity: GW200129_065458. This signal is also the first to show evidence for spin-precession. For most other...

Effective field theory methods have been used in a multitude of applications in gravitational theory, and recent efforts employ such techniques to study tidal interactions. The tidal deformability of stars presents exciting opportunities to analyze both nuclear and gravitational physics due to its dependence on the interior physics of stellar bodies. Information about tidal deformability is...

Over the last decade the international network of gravitational wave detectors (LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA) have detected close to a hundred compact binary mergers. All observations have been consistent with mergers of black holes or neutron stars, but some have been posited as signals generated by the merger of exotic stars. The signal from any compact binary merger would look like that emitted by the...
