Gravitational-wave signals from binary neutron star coalescences carry information about the star's equation of state in their tidal signatures. A major issue in the inference of the tidal parameters (or directly of the equation of state) is the systematic error introduced by waveform approximants. In this talk I will discuss their impact on the loud, high signal to noise ratio events

We study the idea to quantize supergravity in the framework of loop quantum gravity in a way such that the resulting theory still reflects, at least partially, the underlying supersymmetry. Therefore, following the approach of D'Aurea and Fre, we consider supergravity as super Cartan geometry and derive a super analog of Ashtekar's connection. This sets the stage for a quantisation of the...
