Evaluation of circular orbits and innermost stable circular orbits of neutral and charged particles around black holes

This paper mathematically and graphically evaluates the effective gravitational potentials, circular orbits, and Innermost Stable Circular Orbits (ISCOs) of neutral and charged particles around Schwarzschild, Kerr, Reissner-Nordström, and Kerr-Newman black holes, revealing how electromagnetic interactions and gravitational radiation influence orbital stability and energy loss.

Gravitational baryogenesis beyond the spectator approximation

This paper extends the standard gravitational baryogenesis framework beyond the spectator approximation by treating the curvature-matter coupling as a genuine variational problem, deriving the resulting modified field equations and cosmological dynamics to establish a consistent baseline for analyzing baryogenesis in both standard and modified gravity scenarios.

Cosmological gravity on all scales V: MCMC forecasts combining large scale structure and CMB lensing for binned phenomenological modified gravity

This paper presents a fast emulation framework for the matter power spectrum in a binned phenomenological modified gravity model, demonstrating that combining large-scale structure with CMB lensing data enables precise Bayesian constraints on the effective gravitational constant and gravitational slip across redshift bins.

Assessing the robustness of amortized simulation-based inference to transient noise in gravitational-wave ringdowns

This paper proposes an amortized simulation-based inference method using neural posterior estimation for gravitational-wave ringdown analysis, demonstrating that it achieves statistically consistent parameter estimates orders of magnitude faster than traditional Markov-chain methods while revealing that transient noise contamination significantly biases mass and spin estimates, particularly when glitches occur during the signal's tail.

Shifted-geodesic approximation for spinning-body gravitational wave fluxes

This paper introduces a computationally efficient "shifted-geodesic" framework that approximates gravitational-wave fluxes from spinning bodies orbiting Kerr black holes by incorporating leading spin effects into orbital frequencies while retaining the global structure of geodesic motion, offering a pragmatic tool for rapid EMRI/IMRI flux calculations and LISA parameter-space studies with minimal dephasing error.

Scale-Dependent Loop Corrections to the Inflationary Power Spectrum

This paper establishes a consistent renormalization framework within the Effective Field Theory of inflation that successfully cancels ultraviolet divergences and tadpoles for scale-dependent backgrounds with strong de Sitter symmetry breaking, demonstrating that the renormalized one-loop power spectrum vanishes at both large and small scales for resonant and sharp features while preserving perturbativity.

Energy extraction and particle acceleration around a rotating dyonic black hole in N=2N=2, U(1)2U(1)^2 gauged supergravity

This paper investigates energy extraction mechanisms and particle collisions around a rotating dyonic black hole in N=2N=2, U(1)2U(1)^2 gauged supergravity, demonstrating that the gauge coupling constant can significantly enhance Penrose process efficiency and enable infinite center-of-mass energy for extremal cases, thereby positioning this black hole as a more powerful Planck-scale collider than standard Kerr black holes.

Euclid: Constraints on f(R) cosmologies from the spectroscopic and photometric primary probes

This study forecasts that the Euclid mission will significantly constrain the Hu-Sawicki f(R)f(R) modified gravity parameter fR0f_{R0}, achieving approximately 1% precision when combining spectroscopic and photometric probes and enabling the distinction of these models from the standard Λ\LambdaCDM cosmology at greater than 3σ\sigma confidence.

Local coordinates and motion of a test particle in the McVittie spacetime

This paper analyzes the orbital motion of a test particle in the McVittie spacetime using local coordinates and osculating elements to demonstrate that while cosmological expansion does not affect the orbit's size up to second order, it induces a time-dependent precession and alters the mean orbital frequency, with the precession direction determined by the Hubble and deceleration parameters.

Impact of Higher-order Tidal Corrections on the Measurement Accuracy of Neutron Star Tidal Deformability

This study investigates how incorporating higher-order post-Newtonian tidal corrections up to 7.5 pN affects the measurement accuracy of neutron star tidal deformability using the Fisher Matrix method, revealing that these corrections do not exhibit convergence behavior and that measurement precision improves with higher effective spin and stiffer equations of state.

The f(Q)f(Q) gravity and affine EoS: Compatibility and observational constraints

This paper investigates the cosmological implications of an affine equation of state within General Relativity and f(Q)f(Q) gravity, demonstrating that while both frameworks can unify the universe's transition from decelerated to accelerated expansion, the affine model yields quintessence-like dark energy in General Relativity but phantom-like dark energy in f(Q)f(Q) gravity, with parameters constrained by Cosmic Chronometer and Supernovae type Ia data.
