Title: Core collapse and binary mergers in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Abstract:
In the present talk, we will discuss the dynamics of spontaneous scalarization of black holes and neutron stars in scalar-Gauss-Bonent gravity. We will focus on two particularly interesting nonlinear and highly dynamical scenarios for (de)scalarization - binary black hole merger and stellar core collapse. The gravitational wave signatures that are a smoking gun of the (de)scalarization will be discussed.
