Cover Story: Gravitational waves offer new insights into astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. Measurements of stellar-mass binaries and neutron star mergers constrain possible new physics such as a graviton mass and Lorentz violation. Astronomical measurements of the neutron star mergers induced by the emission of gravitational waves provide evidence for the production of heavy elements, possibly including some essential for human life. The gravitational waves observed by Pulsar Timing Arrays may have been due to supermassive black hole binaries or novel cosmological scenarios such as cosmic strings or phase transitions in the early Universe. The answer to the question posed in the title may come from higher-frequency measurements by LISA and atom interferometers. View this paper

Prospects for Multimessenger Observations of the Shapley Supercluster

  • Valentyna Babur,
  • Olexandr Gugnin and
  • Bohdan Hnatyk

21 July 2025

The Shapley Supercluster, one of the largest and most massive structures in the nearby (redshift z≤0.1) Universe, located approximately 200 Mpc away, is a unique laboratory for high-energy astrophysics. Galaxy clusters that comprise it are promisi...

We summarize the experience of studying 2D features in the galaxy distribution of galaxy cluster fields. For the detailed study of the inner structure of galaxy clusters, algorithms were developed for detecting various types of regular substructures...

Structural Implications of the Chameleon Mechanism on White Dwarfs

  • Joan Bachs-Esteban,
  • Ilídio Lopes and
  • Javier Rubio

20 July 2025

We study the behaviour of the chameleon mechanism around white dwarfs and its impact on their structure. Using a shooting method of our own design, we solve the corresponding scalar–tensor equilibrium equations for a Chandrasekhar equation of s...

Evolving Wormholes in a Cosmological Background

  • Mahdi Kord Zangeneh and
  • Francisco S. N. Lobo

19 July 2025

Wormholes are non-trivial topological structures that arise as exact solutions to Einstein’s field equations, theoretically connecting distinct regions of spacetime via a throat-like geometry. While static traversable wormholes necessarily requ...

Spinfoam theories propose a well-defined path-integral formulation for quantum gravity, and it is hoped that they will provide the dynamics of loop quantum gravity. However, it is computationally hard to calculate spinfoam amplitudes. The well-studie...

A four-vector potential of an external test electromagnetic field in a Schwarzschild background is described in terms of a combination of dipole and quadrupole magnetic fields. This combination is an interior solution of the source-free Maxwell equat...

We discuss different quench protocols for Ising and XY spin chains in a transverse magnetic field. With a sudden local magnetic field quench as a starting point, we generalize our approach to a large class of local non-sudden quenches. Using finite t...
