abstract

The bumblebee gravity model, with a vector field nonminimally coupled to gravity, is a natural extension of the Einstein-Maxwell theory. In this theory, a black hole can carry a vector hair, making the metric deviate from the Schwarzschild metric. To investigate the detectability of the vector hair, we consider an Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral (EMRI) system, where a stellar-mass black hole inspiraling into a supermassive black hole. We find that, with a one-year observation of an EMRI by a space-based gravitational-wave detector, we can probe the vector charge as small as $Q\sim 10^{-3}$ in the bumblebee gravity model, which is about three orders of magnitude tighter comparing to current EHT observations.

  1. Black holes and neutron stars in massive Hellings-Nordtvedt theory

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In massive Hellings-Nordtvedt theory, a nonzero vector vacuum asymptotically forbids both curvature-vector couplings at once, and the A²R sector yields Schwarzschild-like black holes plus neutron stars that can deviat...

  2. Probing time-dependent scalar wigs with extreme mass ratio inspirals

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For EMRIs where the smaller black hole carries an oscillating scalar cloud with mass 0.001 <= mu_s m_p <= 0.02, the scalar energy flux is negligible, so the inspiral and gravitational waveform are essentially unchanged.

  3. Constraining polymerized black holes with quasi-circular extreme mass-ratio inspirals

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A future LISA observation of an extreme-mass-ratio inspiral around a polymerized black hole could constrain the quantum parameter k-hat to about 0.003, roughly two orders of magnitude tighter than current black hole s...

  4. Eccentricity-Modulated Phase Degeneracy and Distinguishability between Dark Matter and Accretion Disk Environmental Effects in EMRIs

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    DM dephasing in EMRIs is nearly eccentricity-independent while disk dephasing is strongly suppressed by e0, so residual SNR and distinguishability time favor slightly eccentric orbits for LISA separation of the two effects.

  5. Boson Stars in Bumblebee Gravity and Their Gravitational Waveforms from Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In bumblebee gravity, the Lorentz-violating parameter ℓ makes mini-boson stars more compact for positive ℓ and produces LISA-detectable, sustained EMRI waveforms for penetrating orbits.

  6. On Equation of State of Dark Matter around Massive Black Holes

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Static dark matter halos around Schwarzschild black holes are viable only if the dark matter pressure is negative, under two toy equations of state and a vanishing horizon-density boundary condition.

  7. Periodical orbits and waveforms with spontaneous Lorentz symmetry-breaking in Kalb-Ramond gravity

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a Kalb-Ramond black hole, the Lorentz-violating parameter l shifts the radii and energies of the marginal and innermost stable orbits and changes the phase of gravitational waves from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals.
