Description
In this talk I will review the progress of using LIGO events to probe/constrain the parameter space of Axion-like particles (ALPs), which may be generated through the super-radiant process around rotating black holes, and/or coupling with nuclear matter around neutron stars. I will also discuss current efforts trying to understand dynamical effects induced by ALP clouds in a compact object binary system and observational signatures in future GW/EM detections.
