    talk

    Precessing black-hole mergers can produce an imbalance between right- and left-handed circularly polarized gravitational waves. According to the Cosmological Principle, such chiral emission should average out to zero across all binary mergers in our Universe in order to preserve mirror-reflection symmetry at very large scales. In this talk, I will show how gravitational-wave astronomy enables...

    Gravitational lensing, i.e. the deflection of propagating signals by spacetime curvature is one key prediction of General Relativity. Besides this intrinsic interest as a fundamental prediction, this effect has become one crucial probe used by the cosmology community to identify and map dark matter.
    Relying on the idea that the propagation of both electromagnetic and gravitational waves (GW)...

    GWs emitted after the CMB
    talk

    In the talk, I will introduce a new semianalytical model (SAM) for supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth that departs from traditional EPS-based merger tree methods by directly tracking differential SMBH growth via mergers. I will show that this model reveals a clear preference for heavy SMBH seeds across diverse datasets—including recent JWST observations—except in cases of extremely...
