Impact of a plasma on the relaxation of black holes

E Cannizzaro, TFM Spieksma, V Cardoso, T Ikeda - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Our Universe is permeated with interstellar plasma, which prevents propagation of low-
frequency electromagnetic waves. Here, we show that two dramatic consequences arise out …

Constraints on charged black holes from merger-ringdown signals in GWTC-3 and prospects for the Einstein Telescope

HP Gu, HT Wang, L Shao - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Whether astrophysical black holes (BHs) can have charge is a question to be addressed by
observations. In the era of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, one can constrain the charge …
