The LIGO/Virgo detections of binary black hole mergers marked a watershed moment in astronomy, ushering in the era of precision tests of Kerr dynamics. We review theoretical and …
We analyze GW150914 postmerger data to understand if ringdown overtone detection claims are robust. We find no evidence in favor of an overtone in the data after the waveform …
Motivated by recent work on the Modified Maxwell (ModMax) black holes [Phys Lett B 10.1016/j. physletb. 2020.136011], which are invariant in duality rotations and conformal …
Black hole spectroscopy is the program to measure the complex gravitational wave frequencies of merger remnants, and to quantify their agreement with the characteristic …
Perturbations of black holes, initially considered in the context of possible observations of astrophysical effects, have been studied for the past 10 years in string theory, brane-world …

Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal …
This paper outlines and applies a technique for analyzing physical processes around rotating black holes. The technique is based on the orthonormal frames of" locally …
In Abbott et al.[Phys. Rev. X 6, 041014 (2016) PRXHAE 2160-3308 10.1103/PhysRevX. 6.041014], the properties of the first gravitational wave detected by LIGO, GW150914, were …

Perturbations of stars and black holes have been one of the main topics of relativistic astrophysics for the last few decades. They are of particular importance today, because of …
