    Gravitational waves open the possibility to investigate the nature of compact objects and probe the existence of horizons in black holes. This is of particular interest given some quantum-gravity models which predict the presence of horizonless and singularity-free compact objects. Such exotic compact objects can emit a different gravitational-wave signal relative to the black hole case. In...

    While the prototypical source of continuous gravitational waves is represented by asymmetric spinning neutron stars, there are several other mechanisms which are expected to cause the emission of long-lasting semi-periodic signals which, if detected, would provide a wealth of information about several aspects of fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
    They include newborn magnetars,...

    Invited Speaker

    Black holes (BHs) are among the most fascinating objects in the Universe. However, their description presents several theoretical difficulties such as the presence of a horizon at radius $r_+$. A class of horizonless objects, known as exotic compact objects (ECOs), have been formulated, in order to remove these difficulties. ECO's models generally predict the presence of a physical surface at...
