Detecting massive scalar fields with extreme mass-ratio inspirals

S Barsanti, A Maselli, TP Sotiriou, L Gualtieri - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We study the imprint of light scalar fields on gravitational waves from extreme mass-ratio
inspirals—binary systems with a very large mass asymmetry. We first show that, to leading …
