Hairy binary black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory and their effective-one-body description

Hairy binary black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory and their effective-one-body description

In General Relativity and many modified theories of gravity, isolated black holes (BHs) cannot source massless scalar fields. Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMd) theory is an exception: through couplings both to electromagnetism and (non-minimally) to gravity, a massless scalar field can be generated by an electrically charged BH. In this work, we analytically …
