Asteroids for gravitational-wave detection

MA Fedderke, PW Graham, S Rajendran - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
A major challenge for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the μ Hz band is engineering a
test mass (TM) with sufficiently low acceleration noise. We propose a GW detection concept …

Bridging the Gap in the Gravitational-Wave Landscape with Binary Resonances

D Blas, AC Jenkins - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
Gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy is transforming our understanding of the Universe by
probing phenomena invisible to electromagnetic observatories. A comprehensive …

Gravitational interaction of ultralight dark matter with interferometers

H Kim - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Ultralight dark matter exhibits an order-one density fluctuation over the spatial scale of its
wavelength. These fluctuations gravitationally interact with gravitational wave …

Quantum gravitational sensor for space debris

MZ Wu, M Toroš, S Bose, A Mazumdar - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Matter-wave interferometers have fundamental applications for gravity experiments such as
testing the equivalence principle and the quantum nature of gravity. In addition, matter-wave …

Searching for dark clumps with gravitational-wave detectors

S Baum, MA Fedderke, PW Graham - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Dark compact objects (“clumps”) transiting the Solar System exert accelerations on the test
masses (TM) in a gravitational-wave (GW) detector. We reexamine the detectability of these …

Search for dark-photon dark matter in the SuperMAG geomagnetic field dataset

MA Fedderke, PW Graham, DF Jackson Kimball… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In our recent companion paper [Fedderke et al. Phys. Rev. D 104, 075023 (2021) PRVDAQ

OSIRIS-REx constraints on local dark matter and cosmic neutrino profiles

YD Tsai, J Eby, J Arakawa, D Farnocchia… - … of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive purely gravitational constraints on dark matter and cosmic neutrino profiles in the
solar system using asteroid (101955) Bennu. We focus on Bennu because of its extensive …

Hot and heavy dark matter from a weak scale phase transition

I Baldes, Y Gouttenoire, F Sala - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We point out that dark matter which is produced non-adiabatically in a phase transition (PT)
with fast bubble walls receives a boost in velocity which leads to long free-streaming …

Astrometric gravitational-wave detection via stellar interferometry

MA Fedderke, PW Graham, B Macintosh, S Rajendran - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We evaluate the potential for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the frequency band from
10 nHz to 1 μ Hz using extremely high-precision astrometry of a small number of stars. In …
