While an axion-clouded black hole (BH) encounters a pulsar (PSR) or has a PSR companion, a gravitational molecule can be formed. In such a system, the axion cloud evolves at the binary hybrid orbitals, as it happens at microscopic level to electron cloud in a chemical molecule. To demonstrate this picture, we develop a semi-analytical formalism using the method of linear combination of atomic orbitals with an adiabatic approximation. An oscillating axion-cloud profile and a perturbed binary rotation, together with unique and novel detection signals, are then predicted. Remarkably, the proposed PSR timing and polarization observables, namely the oscillation of periastron time shift and the birefringence with multiple modulations, correlate in pattern, and thus can be properly combined to strengthen the detection.

The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has reported 50 BH-BH mergers and 8 additional candidates recovered from digging deeper into the detectors noise. Majority of these mergers have low effective spins pointing toward low BH spins and efficient angular momen
tum transport in massive stars as proposed by several models (e.g., Tayler-Spruit magnetic dynamo or Fuller model). However, out of these 58 mergers, 7 are consistent with having high effective spin parameter (chi_eff>0.3). Additionally, 2 out of these 7 events seem to have high effective spins sourced from the high spin of a primary (more massive) BH. The most extreme merger has very high primary BH dimensionless spin (a_1=0.9). These particular observations may be potentially used to discriminate between the isolated binary and dynamical globular cluster BH-BH formation channels. It may seem that high BH spins point to the dynamical origin if stars have efficient angular momentum transport and form low-spinning BHs. Then dynamical formation is required to produce second and third generations of BH-BH mergers that typically produce high-spinning BHs. Here we show that isolated binary BH-BH formation channel can naturally reproduce such highly spinning BHs. Our models start with efficient angular momentum transport in massive stars that is needed to reproduce majority of BH-BH mergers with low effective spins. However, some massive binaries are subject to strong tidal spin-up allowing for the formation of moderate fraction (~10%) of BH-BH mergers with high effective spins (chi_eff>0.4-0.5). Moreover, binary evolution can produce small fraction (~1%) of BH-BH mergers with almost maximally spinning primary BHs ($a_1>0.9$). Therefore, the formation scenario of those unusual BH-BH mergers remains unresolved.
The gravitational-wave detection by the LIGO-Virgo scientific collaboration shows that the black hole and neutron star (BH-NS) or BH-BH systems with a BH mass of tens of solar masses widely exist in the universe. Two main types of scenarios have been
invoked for the formation of BH-NS/BH systems, including isolated binary evolution in galactic fields and dynamical interactions in dense environments. Here we propose that if the BH-NS/BH systems are formed from isolated binary evolution, the supernova (SN) signal associated with the second core collapse would show some identifiable features, due to the accretion feedback from the companion BH. Depending on the binary properties, we show that the SN lightcurve could present a sharp peak around $sim10$ days, with luminosity even at the level of the super luminous SNe ( e.g. $sim10^{44}~rm erg~s^{-1}$) or present a plateau feature lasting for several tens of days with regular luminosity of core collapse SNe. Comparing the event rate density of these special SN signals with the event rate density of LIGO-Virgo detected BH-NS/BH systems could help to distinguish the BH-NS/BH formation channel.
The LIGO/Virgo detection of gravitational waves originating from a neutron-star merger, GW170817, has recently provided new stringent limits on the tidal deformabilities of the stars involved in the collision. Combining this measurement with the exis
tence of two-solar-mass stars, we generate a generic family of neutron-star-matter Equations of State (EoSs) that interpolate between state-of-the-art theoretical results at low and high baryon density. Comparing the results to ones obtained without the tidal-deformability constraint, we witness a dramatic reduction in the family of allowed EoSs. Based on our analysis, we conclude that the maximal radius of a 1.4-solar-mass neutron star is 13.6 km, and that smallest allowed tidal deformability of a similar-mass star is $Lambda(1.4 M_odot) = 120$.
We study the possible occurrence of the hadron-quark phase transition (PT) during the merging of neutron star binaries by hydrodynamical simulations employing a set of temperature dependent hybrid equations of state (EoSs). Following previous work we
describe an unambiguous and measurable signature of deconfined quark matter in the gravitational-wave (GW) signal of neutron star binary mergers including equal-mass and unequal-mass systems of different total binary mass. The softening of the EoS by the PT at higher densities, i.e. after merging, leads to a characteristic increase of the dominant postmerger GW frequency f_peak relative to the tidal deformability Lambda inferred during the premerger inspiral phase. Hence, measuring such an increase of the postmerger frequency provides evidence for the presence of a strong PT. If the postmerger frequency and the tidal deformability are compatible with results from purely baryonic EoS models yielding very tight relations between f_peak and Lambda, a strong PT can be excluded up to a certain density. We find tight correlations of f_peak and Lambda with the maximum density during the early postmerger remnant evolution. These GW observables thus inform about the density regime which is probed by the remnant and its GW emission. Exploiting such relations we devise a directly applicable, concrete procedure to constrain the onset density of the QCD PT from future GW measurements. We point out two interesting scenarios: if no indications for a PT are inferred from a GW detection, our procedure yields a lower limit on the onset density of the hadron quark PT. On the contrary, if a merger event reveals evidence for the occurrence of deconfined quark matter, the inferred GW parameters set an upper limit on the PT onset density. (abridged)
We compute the quasi-bound state spectra of ultralight scalar and vector fields around rotating black holes. These spectra are determined by the gravitational fine structure constant $alpha$, which is the ratio of the size of the black hole to the Co
mpton wavelength of the field. When $alpha$ is small, the energy eigenvalues and instability rates can be computed analytically. Since the solutions vary rapidly near the black hole horizon, ordinary perturbative approximations fail and we must use matched asymptotic expansions to determine the spectra. Our analytical treatment relies on the separability of the equations of motion, and is therefore only applicable to the scalar field and the electric modes of the vector field. However, for slowly-rotating black holes, the equations for the magnetic modes can be written in a separable form, which we exploit to derive their energy eigenvalues and conjecture an analytic form for their instability rates. To check our conjecture, and to extend all results to large values of $alpha$, we solve for the spectra numerically. We explain how to accurately and efficiently compute these spectra, without relying on separability. This allows us to obtain reliable results for any $alpha gtrsim 0.001$ and black holes of arbitrary spin. Our results provide an essential input to the phenomenology of boson clouds around black holes, especially when these are part of binary systems.
