It has recently been claimed, with a $4.2 sigma$ significance level, that gravitational wave echoes at a frequency of about $72$ Hz have been produced in the GW170817 event. The merging of compact stars can lead to the emission of gravitational waves echoes if the post-merger object features a photon-sphere capable of partially trapping the gravitational waves. If the post-merger source is a black hole, a second internal reflection surface, associated to quantum effects near the black hole horizon, must be present to avoid the gravitational wave capture. Alternatively, gravitational wave echoes can be produced by ultracompact stars crossing the photon-sphere line in the mass-radius diagram during the neutron star merging. In this case, the second reflection surface is not needed. A recently proposed preliminary analysis using an incompressible (and so unphysical) equation of state suggests that gravitational wave echoes at a frequency of tens of Hz can be produced by an ultracompact star. Since strange stars are extremely compact, we examine the possibility that strange stars emit gravitational wave echoes at such a frequency. Using parameterized models of the equation of state of ultra-stiff quark matter we find that a strange star can emit gravitational wave echoes, but the corresponding frequencies are of the order of tens of kHz, thus not compatible with the $72$ Hz signal.

Gravitational wave echoes may provide a smoking gun signal for new physics in the immediate vicinity of black holes. As a quasi-periodic signal in time, echoes are characterized by the nearly constant time delay, and its precise measurement can help
reveal a Planck scale deviation outside of the would-be horizon. Different search methods have been developed for this quasi-periodic signal, while the searches suffer from large theoretical uncertainties of the echo waveform associated with the near-horizon physics. On the other hand, a coherent combine of a large number of pulses gives rise to a generic narrow resonance structure for the echo amplitude in frequency. The quasi-periodic resonance structure sets a complementary search target for echoes, and the time delay is inversely related to the average resonance spacing. A uniform comb has been proposed to look for the resonance structure in a rather model independent way. In this paper, we develop a Bayesian algorithm to search for the resonance structure based on combs, where a phase-marginalized likelihood plays an essential role. The algorithm is validated with signal injections in detector noise from Advanced LIGO. With special treatments of the non-Gaussian artifacts, the noise outliers of the log Bayes factor distribution are properly removed. An echo signal not significantly below noise is detectable, and the time delay can be determined to very high precision. We perform the proposed search on real gravitational wave strain data of the first observing run of Advanced LIGO. We find no clear evidence of a comb-like structure for GW150914 and GW151012.
We present numerical waveforms of gravitational-wave echoes from spinning exotic compact objects (ECOs) that result from binary black hole coalescence. We obtain these echoes by solving the Teukolsky equation for the $psi_4$ associated with gravitati
onal waves that propagate toward the horizon of a Kerr spacetime, and process the subsequent reflections of the horizon-going wave by the surface of the ECO, which lies right above the Kerr horizon. The trajectories of the infalling objects are modified from Kerr geodesics, such that the gravitational waves propagating toward future null infinity match those from merging black holes with comparable masses. In this way, the corresponding echoes approximate to those from comparable-mass mergers. For boundary conditions at the ECO surface, we adopt recent work using the membrane paradigm, which relates $psi_0$ associated with the horizon-going wave and $psi_4$ of the wave that leaves the ECO surface. We obtain $psi_0$ of the horizon-going wave from $psi_4$ using the Teukolsky-Starobinsky relation. The echoes we obtain turn out to be significantly weaker than those from previous studies that generate echo waveforms by modeling the ringdown part of binary black hole coalescence waveforms as originating from the past horizon.
Gravitational wave (GW) echoes, if they exist, would be a probe to the near-horizon physics of black hole. In this brief report, we performed the Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to search for echo signal in all GWTC-1 and O3 GW events. We focus on
the Insprial-Merger-Ringdown-Echo (IMRE) waveform, and apply the Bayesian model selection to compare the IMRE result with IMRs (no echo). We find no statistically significant ($<1sigma$ combined) evidence for the GW echoes and only individual GW events with the echoes at $1sim 2sigma$ significance.
Using a deformed dispersion relation for gravitational waves, Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo have been able to place constraints on violations of local Lorentz invariance as well as the mass of the graviton. We summarise the method to obtain the cu
rrent bounds from the 10 significant binary black hole detections made during the first and second observing runs of the above detectors.
Exotic compact objects (ECOs) have recently become an exciting research subject, since they are speculated to have a special response to the incident gravitational waves (GWs) that leads to GW echoes. We show that energy carried by GWs can easily cau
se the event horizon to form out of a static ECO --- leaving no echo signals towards spatial infinity. To show this, we use the ingoing Vaidya spacetime and take into account the back reaction due to incoming GWs. Demanding that an ECO does not collapse into a black hole puts an upper bound on the compactness of the ECO, at the cost of less distinct echo signals for smaller compactness. The trade-off between echoes detectability and distinguishability leads to a fine tuning of ECO parameters for LIGO to find distinct echoes. We also show that an extremely compact ECO that can survive the gravitational collapse and give rise to GW echoes might have to expand its surface in a non-causal way.
