This PhD project targets the modelling of sources of gravitational waves using numerical techniques on super computers. The specific scenarios we plan to investigate involve compact binaries consisting involving black holes, a hypothetical class of compact objects called boson stars and tenuous distributions of fundamental matter fields. The main goal is to identify observational signatures that discriminate these systems from the traditional vanilla black-hole binary sources regularly observed with LIGO-Virgo. This will enable us to observationally infer information about the presence or absence of dark matter candidates involving fundamental fields.

该博士项目的目标是在超级计算机上使用数值技术对引力波源进行建模。我们计划研究的具体场景涉及致密双星，其中包括黑洞、一类被称为玻色子星的假设致密天体和基本物质场的脆弱分布。主要目标是识别观测特征，将这些系统与 LIGO-Virgo 定期观测到的传统普通黑洞双星源区分开来。这将使我们能够通过观察推断涉及基本场的暗物质候选者是否存在的信息。
