Ultralight Boson Clouds Around Black Holes - Lecture 3

Explore the fascinating world of ultralight boson clouds around black holes in this lecture by Nils Siemonsen from Princeton University. Delve into an intriguing potential source of gravitational waves as part of the ICTS Summer School on Gravitational-Wave Astronomy. Learn about exotic phenomena that could be detected in upcoming observing runs of LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA. Gain insights into the cutting-edge research on continuous gravitational waves from sources beyond the well-studied compact binary mergers. Understand how these ultralight boson clouds form around black holes and their implications for gravitational wave astronomy and our understanding of fundamental physics.
