Probing ultralight bosons with binary black holes

Daniel Baumann, Horng Sheng Chia, and Rafael A. Porto

Phys. Rev. D 99, 044001 (2019) - Published 4 February, 2019

Gravitational-wave signals could contain clues to extremely low-mass particles predicted by extensions of the standard model of particle physics.

Paleo-detectors: Searching for dark matter with ancient minerals

Andrzej K. Drukier, Sebastian Baum, Katherine Freese, Maciej Górski, and Patrick Stengel

Phys. Rev. D 99, 043014 (2019) - Published 26 February, 2019

Complete initial value spacetimes containing black holes in general relativity: Application to black hole-disk systems

Antonios Tsokaros, Kōji Uryū, and Stuart L. Shapiro

Phys. Rev. D 99, 041501(R) (2019) - Published 25 February, 2019

This paper presents a new way of posing the initial value problem in general relativity for generic spacetimes containing a black hole. The new formulation has several advantages over previous ones and promises to be conducive to implementation in numerical simulations relevant to gravitational-wave physics.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Gravastar formation: What can be the evidence of a black hole?

Ken-ichi Nakao, Chul-Moon Yoo, and Tomohiro Harada

Phys. Rev. D 99, 044027 (2019) - Published 15 February, 2019

The authors present a novel model for the production of gravastars, which are an alternative to black holes as the endpoint of gravitational collapse. They specifically study a thin spherical shell undergoing gravitational contraction. This model is dynamical, in contrast to the usually available static studies.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Quantum chaos, thermalization, and entanglement generation in real-time simulations of the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind matrix model

P. V. Buividovich, M. Hanada, and A. Schäfer

Phys. Rev. D 99, 046011 (2019) - Published 19 February, 2019

By using Gaussian density matrices, the authors study the behavior of the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind matrix model in real time, analyzing the transition between low and high energies.
