General relativity minimally coupled to a massive, free, complex scalar field, is shown to allow asymptotically flat solutions, nonsingular on and outside the event horizon, describing two spinning black holes (2sBHs) in equilibrium, with coaxial, aligned angular momenta. The 2sBHs configurations bifurcate from solutions describing dipolar spinning boson stars. The BHs emerge at equilibrium points diagnosed by a test particle analysis and illustrated by a Newtonian analog. The individual BH "charges" are mass and angular momentum only. Equilibrium is due to the scalar environment, acting as a (compact) dipolar field, providing a lift against their mutual attraction, making the 2sBHs (h)airborne. We explore the 2sBHs domain of solutions and its main features.

Post-Minkowskian Theory Meets the Spinning Effective-One-Body Approach for Bound-Orbit Waveforms.
Phys Rev Lett

Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Am Mühlenberg 1, 14476 Potsdam, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Recent advances in scattering amplitudes and worldline-based methods have improved our ability to calculate gravitational two-body scattering observables, important for understanding the weak-field high-velocity dynamics of black holes.
- The new inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model SEOBNR-PM, designed for nonprecessing spinning black holes, builds on the SEOBNRv5 model used by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA, incorporating a new effective-one-body Hamiltonian based on perturbative post-Minkowskian expansion.
- SEOBNR-PM shows excellent performance, with lower median mismatch against numerical relativity simulations and better agreement in binding energy compared to SEOBNRv5, despite the latter being more calibrated.
Searching for Asymmetric and Heavily Precessing Binary Black Holes in the Gravitational Wave Data from the LIGO Third Observing Run.

Leveraging the features of the GstLAL pipeline, we present the results of a matched filtering search for asymmetric binary black hole systems with heavily misaligned spins in LIGO and Virgo data taken during the third observing run. Our target systems show strong imprints of precession whereas current searches have nonoptimal sensitivity in detecting them. After measuring the sensitivity improvement brought by our search over standard spin-aligned searches, we report the detection of 30 gravitational wave events already discovered in the latest version of the Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog.

Vessel walls play a crucial role in many inflammatory vascular diseases. Vessel wall imaging (VWI) using mangnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the few methods by which vessel walls and inflammation can be visualized noninvasively, in vivo, and without ionizing radiation. VWI is based on black-blood (BB) MRI, where the signal from flowing blood is suppressed and contrast agent accumulation in the (inflamed) vessel wall is highlighted.

Helmholtz-Institut, GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Mainz 55128, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Axions are theoretical particles that might explain dark matter and a specific physics problem (strong CP problem), and this study investigates their interactions using ^{129}Xe gas and Rb vapor.
- The method used enhances the detection sensitivity for these axion interactions by 145 times compared to traditional approaches through magnetic amplification and effective field exploitation.
- The research led to significant improvements in constraints on interactions related to axions, expanding the search for these particles and their potential links to dark matter, with implications for future investigations in this field.
Spinning Black Binaries in de Sitter Space.

We numerically construct stationary, rotating black binaries in general relativity with a positive cosmological constant. We consider identical black holes with either aligned or anti-aligned spins. Both cases have less entropy than the corresponding single Kerr-Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole with the same total angular momentum and cosmological horizon entropy.
