A Viewpoint by C. Macedo in @PhysicsMagazine covers work in PRL and PRD. Hypothetical bosons, like axions, may form clouds around black holes, described as "gravitational atoms", a phenomenon that could show up in gravitational wave signals. #physics

Gravitational-wave signals from black hole mergers could reveal the presence of “gravitational atoms”—black holes surrounded by clouds of axions or other light bosons.

Congrats, @ESA_Euclid collaboration! Scientific papers available at euclid-ec.org/science/public…

#ESAEuclid celebrates first science with sparkling cosmic views! 🤩
The images are part of Euclid’s Early Release Observations — just 24 hours of observations, 17 targets, over 11 million objects revealed in visible light and 5 million more in infrared light.
Access them here👉 esa.int/Science_Exploration/… and read more about each image below 🧵👇
ALT Composite image of five astronomical views. Three are placed at the top, two at the bottom. All are dotted with stars and galaxies against a black background. Striking features are three bright glowing structures in the first image. The second image has an orange veil-like structure spanning across. In the third we see a stunning spiral galaxy with many arms. The fourth image features light from galaxies lying behind a bright cluster distorted into arcs. And the fifth image shows a variety of galaxies in all shapes and sizes.

I have just returned from a truly stimulating three-month sabbatical in New York City. In this post, I briefly reflect on the overall experience to ask: was it all worth it? gianfrancobertone.net/2024/0…

Due to ongoing turmoil at Columbia U., the “Future of Dark Matter” brainstorming workshop that I co-organised with my friends and colleagues @Elena_Aprile and Lam Hui, initially planned at Columbia U., was hosted at the @SimonsFdn CCA. A brief recap: gianfrancobertone.net/2024/0…

Dark matter can reach extremely high densities around intermediate-mass black holes and induce environmental effects that can be probed with gravitational waves. Here is a realistic description of the formation of such overdensities: arxiv.org/abs/2404.08731 (1/3)
