Systematics in tests of general relativity using LISA massive black hole binaries (2024)
Journal Article
Garg, M., Sberna, L., Speri, L., Duque, F., & Gair, J. (2024). Systematics in tests of general relativity using LISA massive black hole binaries. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 535(4), 3283–3292. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae2605

Our current understanding is that an environment – mainly consisting of gas or stars – is required to bring massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with total redshifted mass Mz ∼ [104, 107] M⊙ to the LISA band from parsec separation. Even in the gravita... Read More about Systematics in tests of general relativity using LISA massive black hole binaries.

Relativistic Perturbation Theory for Black-Hole Boson Clouds (2024)
Journal Article
Cannizzaro, E., Sberna, L., Green, S. R., & Hollands, S. (2024). Relativistic Perturbation Theory for Black-Hole Boson Clouds. Physical Review Letters, 132(5), Article 051401. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.051401

We develop a relativistic perturbation theory for scalar clouds around rotating black holes. We first introduce a relativistic product and corresponding orthogonality relation between modes, extending a recent result for gravitational perturbations....
